Nutrition and Sustainability

Westminster University knows students lead busy lives and want to do the right thing for the planet, so your Sodexo chefs and managers do a lot of the work for you behind the scenes. From purchasing local seasonal produce whenever possible to reducing inorganic and organic waste, your campus team is dedicated to providing you with an exceptional dining experience that is good for you and good for the planet.

Campus Dining purchases locally grown and seasonal produce whenever possible to reduce environmental impacts and support the local economy. Several programs are in place to reduce food waste—even the kitchen food scraps and peelings go to a bio-digesting facility that produces energy.

If you have questions or would like to get involved, reach out to General Manager Nikki Hardinger at nikki.hardinger@sodexo.com.

Westminster's executive chef selects well-balanced menu choices that are delicious, nutritious, and satisfying. Look for nutritional information on grab-and-go items and in the Everday menu app. Ask Campus Dining staff for help if you have any questions about nutrituion or ingredients.

Westminster takes pride in sourcing wholesome ingredients, preparing recipes accurately, and providing nutritional analysis and ingredient statements through online menus and the nutrition calculator. From general manager to front line servers, we work diligently to address students’ specific needs, especially those with food allergies, Celiac disease, and special dietary needs.
