Understanding the challenges with today’s diverse dining needs has spurred an initiative by Hospitality Services at Rensselaer. We have been aware that there are special dietary needs for a growing number of select students every year. Knowing these specific needs, we have developed a program called My Zone which offers fresh and frozen meals, sides and desserts as well as dry grocery items, beverages, snacks and more. Located and maintained at the Commons Dining Hall, My Zone provides quality specialty foods in a resident dining setting and eliminates the worries of our diners with specific allergy or ethnic necessities

To learn more, visit My Zone in the Commons Dining Hall or contact our Executive Chef, Jackie Baldwin. |
