Dining

Meals are eaten at the resident dining hall, which is buffet-style dining. Snacks will also be provided to participants during class time breaks each day. Anyone is welcome to bring their own favorite nonperishable snacks from home. The university dining facility is experienced at accommodating participant's special dietary needs. We work closely with the university dining staff to create a food allergy action plan to determine what accommodations can be made for specific participant needs.
