Simply 3
Menu variety is an important satisfaction driver in a dining hall where students eat every day, multiple times a day. If you’re a student with one or more food allergies, finding a variety of safe and crave-worthy hot meal options can be even more challenging. Colleges are increasingly seeking solutions to provide a delicious mix of dining options that meet the dietary needs of all students. Simply 3 is a destination allergen-free station, located at the Crossroads Dining Room, which focuses on recipes without milk, nuts, and gluten. Simply 3 avoids the three core ingredients students are trying to avoid the most. Simply 3 focuses on three highly avoided allergens to provide students with both safe meals and the opportunity for increased variety at all times of the day. This helps students with food allergies feel included and reduces their temptation to stray to unsafe stations for their favorite comforting meals.
Gluten-Free Options
The Gluten Intolerant Options Program (G.I.O.) was designed to allow students with a gluten dietary restriction to swipe for a gluten-free item at no-additional charge. Students on this program must submit proper documentation and be approved by the Campus Dietitian. Students not on this program can still get gluten-free items at dining locations by simply paying an additional fee.
