UNIVERSITY HOUSING
At University Housing, we strive to make sure you have the options you need to easily meet your dietary needs, including Everybody Eats, a campus-wide initiative to ensure everyone in our Illini community has access to a hot meal and is provided with adequate nutrition.
In addition to having staff dietitians to consult you on all menus, the EatSmart website and Illinois app allows you to see what items are being served in all of our dining locations (all-you-care-to-eat and retail) and see the full ingredient list, nutritional information, and allergen information for every item being served. University Housing's Inclusive Solutions allow students with severe allergies and dietary restrictions to dine with us in a healthy, safe and stress free way.
KITCHEN STATIONS
Inclusive Solutions Kitchen is an allergen-friendly micro-restaurant with two locations, located in the Ikenberry and Illinois Street Dining Centers, where food items are made and served without the top 9 allergens and gluten. These stations are open to all meal plan holders.
NUTRITION EDUCATION PROGRAM
The Nutrition Education Program at the McKinley Health Center aims to teach students on a variety of nutrition topics, encourage healthy eating behaviors, and increase understanding on the benefits of healthy eating. You can meet one-on-one with a Registered Dietitian or review our handy nutrition brochures.
INSTRUCTIONAL KITCHEN AT CAMPUS RECREATION
The Instructional Kitchen provides a variety of educational and nutrition-focused programming such as nutrition coaching, cooking classes, grab-to-go meal programs, and more to cultivate healthy habits at Illinois.
EVERYBODY PROJECT WORKSHOP
This workshop is a body acceptance-based program designed to help you feel better about your bodies as we directly discuss the impact of diversity within cultural appearance ideals (including race, gender identity, sexuality, ability, and age) and critique the individual and collective impact of pursuing exclusive appearance norms.
