Campus Dining

The main campus dining hall is where you will find a wide variety of all-you-can-enjoy options, hot and nutritious meals, carefully selected ingredients that will allow almost all students the opportunity to take care of special dietary needs, as well as made-to-order and self-serve options. Plus, the Dining Hall hosts all kinds of special meals, like monthly theme meals, Pioneer Culinary Creations, Bonus Bites, the exam week tradition of the Late-Night Breakfast and more!

For those students who have special dietary needs that can’t be accommodated by the variety of our regular dining hall menu, please talk with Student Services, so we can help them take care of you.
