Thank you to Catawba College, who recently hosted a great Stop Food Waste Day event! Together, they united with the campus community to raise awareness about food sustainability through fun, food, and education. 🍽️🌍
The event started with an engaging food waste trivia game, where students tested their knowledge and won eco-friendly prizes. The highlight of the day was the Chef’s Table, featuring mouthwatering tacos inspired by the Stop Food Waste Day cookbook—showing how creative cooking can help reduce waste. Attendees also enjoyed locally-sourced strawberry smoothies, demonstrating the benefits of using fresh, local ingredients to reduce environmental impact.
Not only was the event delicious, but it also sparked meaningful conversations about food waste and how small, intentional choices can make a big difference. 🌱
The University of Houston dining team celebrated the changing season with a Coffee and DJ set event. Partnering with The Nook Coffee Shop, owned by Katz Coffee—a business started by a UH alum—they created a lively atmosphere. DJ Triddy, a current UH student, kept the energy high with an amazing performance that was met with enthusiastic cheers from fellow students.
The event also featured a First Year Eats tabling, which saw 18 new sign-ups for the program. Students had the opportunity to learn more about meal plans for the upcoming summer and fall semesters, and even win exclusive giveaway prizes.
This event not only provided a memorable experience but also strengthened the bond between the University of Houston team and their partners.
The battle was on at the University of Florida's inaugural Chomped competition! 🔪🔥Culinary teams raced to beat the clock and each other in this Iron Chef-style competition. The talented chefs teamed up with students to create dumpling dishes using a secret ingredient: passionfruit popping boba.
The winning team took first place with a dish that brought bold flavor and precise execution. Congratulations! I'm looking forward to the competition next year, and I know the team can't wait to throw down in the kitchen again. 🏆

During Earth Month, our teams are celebrating the planet. To promote sustainability and wellness, the Elmhurst dining team recently partnered with dietitian Lisa Carlson for a spring Garden Party event.
Together with Lisa, students got to play an interactive Jeopardy-style game featuring categories like Fun Food Facts, Plant-Forward Eating, and Healthy Habits. They also battled for prizes donated by our partner Midwest Foods, including stress balls, mini notebooks, and reusable tote bags. In collaboration with the Elmhurst Greenjays, the team offered a hands-on DIY Herb Garden station where students selected and planted herbs to take home. The event also featured sustainable dining - guests tried banana muffins made from a recipe using banana peels, demonstrating how to reduce food waste with creative, nutritious solutions!
Thank you, Elmhurst team!

This month, we're celebrating Earth Month. I want to take a moment to share the story of Hillary Swimmer, the sustainability and community engagement director at Northwestern University. She shared a special place close to her heart—a garden she built with her mother.
Hillary's story of nurturing her garden shows how we all have a responsibility to care for our planet and also create spaces where people can thrive. Thank you, Hillary!
