Eating Healthy at ETSU

Providing you with healthy options is something your dining team proudly does every day. We take pride in serving you wholesome ingredients, preparing recipes accurately, and providing nutritional analysis and ingredient statements through our online menus and nutrition calculator.

We can also assist you in selecting delicious, nutritious and satisfying meals, snacks and desserts by highlighting well-balanced menu choices and tips to help you make choices that fit your needs.

Students may reach out to Kelvin Tarukwasha, ETSU Dining Service's Resident District Manager, at any point in the semester to request info about the Marketplace or the Treehouse to identify healthy options. Students may also request an individual nutrition consultation to devise a healthy eating plan.

Simple Servings

Simple Serving is available in the Dining Hall. Simple Servings is our innovative resident dining platform developed to address the growing number of students who arriving on college campuses with special dietary needs. All foods served at Simple Servings are prepared exclusively with ingredients which do not contain the following food allergens:

• Milk
• Eggs
• Wheat
• Soy
• Shellfish
• Peanuts
• Tree Nuts
• Sesame

Please note that foods prepared at this station also do not contain gluten.

Simple Servings staff members are carefully trained to avoid cross-contamination of their menu items. Separate equipment, storage areas, utensils and preparation areas minimize the chances of gluten and allergens in our Simple Servings foods.

From our General Manager to our servers, we work carefully to address food allergies, celiac diets, and other specific nutrition and diet needs. We want to meet one-on-one with anyone who has individual dining needs to ensure that your dining experience is safe, delicious, and social.

If you have a food allergy or special diet concern, please contact the Campus Regional Dietician: Joni Trotter MS, RD, LDN. Email: Joni.Trotter@sodexo.com
