Effective Ways to Deepen Campus
and Community Engagement
Tracy Lawler
President
JGL Food Service Consultants

What are some of the top trending methods to
generate campus and community engagement
with an on-site dining operation? Students
today are seeking shared values, authenticity,
and transparency. Campus dining can support
these efforts and forge a deeper connection
within the community. We all know breaking
bread together is powerful. A well-designed
and operated campus dining program that
reflects the student body interests can
enhance student life as well as the institutional
reputation among prospective students,
alumni, and donors.
As food service consultants who manage
multiple RFP processes annually on behalf of
our clients, we are often struck by the differing
decision-making processes we encounter
across sectors. Higher education accounts,
in the last five to ten years, have increasingly
valued campus and community engagement

initiatives as a factor when choosing a
foodservice vendor. Self-operated accounts
are, of course, judged by the same criteria
and should be incorporating campus and
community engagement efforts into their
ongoing operations as well.
If student values, goals, and concerns with
regards to engagement are not considered,
higher education institutions may find
themselves in a position with negative
student press, protests, or even sit-outs. Hot
button topics such as food insecurity, local
participation, sustainability, food recovery,
social justice, and engaging students on
multiple levels need to be addressed in an
operation seeking to create campus and
community engagement. On the following
pages we detail some of the most resonant
efforts to create campus and community
engagement from recent client work.
