From Krista Mays: Working together the Dining & Sustainability departments developed a program that we can all be proud of and that continues to divert material from the landfill every single day. As of April 14, we had diverted over 120 tons of material with this program.

Earth Week: Organic Meals and more!

Being green means a lot to Housing, Dining & Hospitality. The picture to the right shows just 3 of the ways that HDH is "green": we recycle, we minimize waste by using tiny trash cans as a reminder to "use less, waste less" and we have compostable cups if you need to "carry out."

Celebrate Earth Week with Dining Services by joining us for our featured organic meals at these locations:

Monday 4/19-23: Places & Markets
Tuesday 4/20: Canyon Vista and Foodworx
Wednesday 4/21: Cafe Ventanas
Thursday 4/22: Plaza Cafe
Friday 4/23: OVT
