SPECIAL EVENTS
- Special events and theme meals are an opportunity to celebrate together and share our cultures, cuisines and experiences. For example, imagine a Native American or an Asian American Pacific Islanders Heritage menu –what would you love to see?
DIETARY NEEDS
- HUDS Registered Dietitian will be based at Annenberg Hall and will host office hours at every House as well. Students with medically-diagnosed dietary needs are urged to register for an accommodation with the Accessible Education Office (AEO) at your earliest convenience.
- In support of those with food allergies, we’ve added Top 9 Allergens plus Gluten to our menu cards, and as always, all ingredients, nutrients, and allergens are available for view on our web menus.
HUDS has seasonal menus to take advantage of the changing harvests and flavors we crave at different times of year. Each day you have a delectable range of choices to make. But we also have an "if you don't see it, ask" policy. You are welcome to whatever is in our kitchen, even it's not on that day's menu.
