when ingredients in their products change. This makes
maintaining an accurate database of ingredients
challenging. We rely on our highly trained staff members

" Being an advocate for the students on Vanderbilt's campus
has been so rewarding, knowing that they feel comfortable
with the foods being served and creating relationships with
students to make sure that they are getting all they need to
be successful in school and life, " Svennevik said.
3. Stock epinephrine for emergency use, a
lifesaving solution
Many campuses stock epinephrine (commonly known as
epi pens), which is readily available in case of anaphylactic
emergencies. This has proven to be a lifesaving solution
for many. Vanderbilt University stocks epi pens at every
dining location on campus.
" I hope our availability of epi pens at all our dining
locations allows students to have quality food that they
can consistently trust, " Svennevik said.
4. Dining management support for allyship
and advocacy
For most RDs, their roles on campuses include maintaining
nutrition programs and strategizing allergen-safe dining
options. Not only that, but they advocate for students with
food allergies.
5. Campus partnerships
Campus partnerships can help align allergen efforts, bringing
fluidity and cohesion to dining and accessibility services,
campus health and emergencies, hospitality and more.
" Partnering with other departments on campus to include
(Dartmouth) Student Accessibility, Health Services and
Residential Life is key to providing services that are fair and
equitable to all students, " said Beth Rosenberger, RD at
Dartmouth Dining.
6. Customizable and accessible
allergen free meals
With a variety of allergens that students manage, accessibility
and availability are two huge points of emphasis for dining
operations. Offering allergen free alternatives is crucial to
a successful foodservice program. Not to mention, having
dedicated utensils and equipment available for students can
also bolster an operation.
