Food Day at University of Maryland College Park: Supporting Campus Efforts at Sustanability

On Friday October 23, 2015 NFSC Dietetic Internship gathered to assist campus dining services in promoting sustainability in honor of National Food Day this year.

 

The interns assisted the campus dining sustainability team in urging UMCP students to use "recyclable" take out containers and learn more about campus sustainability efforts.   Visit UMCP Campus Dining Services to learn the many sustainability efforts taking place on campus. 

Interns also served samples of food items being served in the cafeteria -- Marinated Mushroom Sandwich and a less meaty pasta dish.  In the evening for supper dining services served grilled blue catfish.

 

The event served to enhance intern knowledge about Maryland food-based sustainability issues, gain a great understanding of college student food preferences, and have a great time!
