Nutrition Team

Our Nutrition Team, comprised of students in related majors, are also available as a resource to you. Whether you need nutrition counseling, want a presentation for a group or would like to join them for a meal so they can assist you in choosing the healthier alternatives, you may contact them by calling (618) 453-2301.

Students review a nutrition chart together using sample foods in a classroom setting.

Special Dietary Needs

We work closely with students with food allergies and physician prescribed diets and ask that these students contact us at (618) 453-2301 so that we can develop a plan to meet their nutritional needs.

Food Allergies and Intolerances

We work closely with students to ensure their dining experience meets their needs. This can include clearly labeling menu items for allergens, purchasing and storing ingredients separately as needed, and adjusting recipes when appropriate. We’re also proud to offer a dedicated gluten free kitchen for residents who require it.

Vegetarian & Vegan Dining

We provide vegan and vegetarian choices at lunch and dinner daily. These options are always included on our online menu so you can plan ahead with ease.

Nutritional Counseling

If you’d like nutrition counseling or have a suggestion to share, please contact us at (618) 453-2301. Our nutrition team includes both graduate and undergraduate students who are majoring in Human Nutrition and Dietetics. The team is led by our University Housing dietitian, who is always happy to speak with you.

Brown Bag Meals

Students with a class that conflicts with mealtimes should speak to staff at the dining hall to make arrangements for a brown bag meal.

Wellness Meals

Culinary and Nutrition Services provides wellness meals for students who are too ill to eat in the dining hall. By completing the Wellness Meals Form daily, for up to three days, your meals can be picked up at the monitor's station in either Lentz or Trueblood.
