More Clarity on Meal Exchanges
Our marketing team is working on putting up more signage about what qualifies for meal exchanges. If you're wondering, those with an unlimited meal plan qualify for meal exchanges twice a week and once a day. Simply pick 1 entree, 1 side, a fountain beverage or coffee. We will put more signage up pertaining to what venue entrees you can pick from.
Replenished Service Areas
We are designating staff to ensure silverware and napkins are replenished in a timely manner and tables are frequently cleaned. Need something? Just ask!
Healthier Options
Our eat>NOW market was recently stocked with numerous healthy snacks to help you get through your day. Additionally, Hilltop's salad bar and deli renovations allow us to put out more fresh vegetables and grain salads. Swirl at Union Central is also available for those looking for something fruity for breakfast or lunch.
Hot Beverage Options
We are working to add decaf coffee and hot chocolate to our beverage stations.
Ongoing Culinary Training Opportunities
Both the Campus and Regional Executive Chefs continually work with the cooks to build on skills and incorporate new recipes through training demos and workshops. We will focus on allergen trainings specifically for our employees moving forward.

Menu tags have at minimum, calorie and allergen information. View full nutritional info on the dining website and Everyday App. Need assistance? Our dietitian, Krista, can help you navigate the dining hall based on your dietary needs. You can email her at krista.niezelski@sodexo.com.
