Does the institution provide labels and/or signage that distinguishes between vegan, vegetarian (not vegan), and other items?:
Are the vegan options accessible to all members of the campus community?:
A brief description of the vegan dining program, including availability, sample menus, signage and any promotional activities (e.g. “Meatless Mondays”):
Sodexo does offer meatless Mondays, though the program does not occur every Monday. Vegan options are available at the deli and at the expo station, upon request. Vegan options at the grill as well but are cooked on separate sauté pan to avoid contamination with animal products. Additionally, the menus do identify which items are vegan with the symbol "VG" next to menu item.
A brief description of other efforts the institution has made to reduce the impact of its animal-derived food purchases:
Sodexo offers different vegetarian stations and highlights many different vegetarian "limited time only" specials throughout their menu cycle. Much of Sodexo's marketing is based around these items.
