2. Learn and Understand Allergy Icons
We have established a set of allergy icons that will identify ingredients that may cause an allergic reaction. There are eight icons. These icons will be placed on food item identification monitors so that all will be aware.
Many of the items that will be served as entrees may have the allergen mentioned in the name, which is key for you to read and understand. However, always check the allergen icons on a dish.
4. When in Doubt, Ask!
Our goal is to provide each student with an exceptional dining experience in all aspects. If you are unsure about a dish, ask a server or speak to the chef. Our staff is happy to help you.
Please contact Katy Potter in the Business Office if you’re interested in becoming a student employee.

ECO TO-GO CONTAINER PROGRAM
We know that students are busy and often must eat on the run. This need makes to-go dining very popular on our campus but also generates massive amounts of waste. Much of this waste is diverted from landfills by utilizing recyclable and compostable packaging but Eco-Ware aims to avoid the use of this packaging altogether by shifting from single-use to reusable containers.
How does eco-ware work in the Caf?
Let the cashier know that you would like to take food to go. You must pay a $10 nonrefundable deposit for your first reuseable container. The cashier will give you a clean Eco-Ware container and a to-go beverage cup when they swipe you into the dining hall.
Now fill the container with whatever you would like, from any station. Keep in mind that the container must close, but you can still choose to take a piece of hand fruit as well.
No need to stop back at the cashier stand, just exit and enjoy your meal.
When you’re finished, empty the container and return it to the cashier at the Caf. They will take your dirty container and give you a tag or a clean container, if you wish to go again. If you do not have a tag or dirty container, you will be asked for an additional $10 deposit for another container.
Now the cycle repeats and you will reduce your environmental footprint by using your container again and again!
This program is available every day of the week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Please note that you must leave with your meal.
