In 2018, NC State Dining joined The Menus of Change University Research Collaborative, a national collaborative of leading scholars, foodservice business leaders and executive chefs from invited colleges and universities who are accelerating efforts to move Americans toward healthier, more sustainable, plant-forward diets.

We aim to incorporate the 24 Menus of Change Principles of healthy and sustainable menus. These principles offer guidance to our nutrition and culinary team on menu design and innovation, while outlining pivotal culinary strategies to promote positive impact on the lifelong food choices of our campus community.

Menus of Change has grown to involve some of the nation’s most influential and well-respected leaders on health, sustainability and food in guiding its future work, and NC State Dining is excited to participate in its collegiate challenge.
