University Dining is proud to support the technological innovation of N.C. State.
We are glad that students are utilizing the iPads located in the dining halls, On the Oval, McKimmon Corner Café and at Talley Student Union, which serve to show students with allergies what they can safely eat in each location. This is extremely important to those with allergies and intolerances, as some allergies are life-threatening — the iPads clearly display this information as well as calories and portion sizes for each menu item.
University Dining at N.C. State has received national recognition for our cutting-edge nutrition program, and we strive to clearly communicate nutritional details regarding the food available through a multitude of technologically driven ways, iPads included.
While it may appear expensive, printing this nutrition information on a daily basis would incur greater cost. We are proud to offer the iPads, as it better serves our guests while also cutting cost and contributing to the sustainability goals of N.C. State.
If you would like more information on the nutrition goals of University Dining and how we strive to feed the Pack well, please visit our website (dining.ncsu.edu) or email the dietitian, Lisa Eberhart, at [email protected].
