health & wellbeing

This is our nutritionally balanced philosophy

Food is something we have to do every day, multiple times a day, and here at Denison we love to eat! We know food is more than physical nourishment, but also a social, emotional, and spiritual way to care for our minds and bodies. Food is fuel and so much more! Be it sitting down to enjoy a favorite meal or grabbing something quick to fuel a busy day, good food matters. The food choices we make directly impact the energy and focus we need to reach our goals, every day and throughout our lives!

Eating well takes time, effort, and understanding your individual needs; which can be a huge challenge at college. We got you! Our dining program is built by a team of chefs and a team of food lovers who are here to help make it easy for you. From new flavors and recipes to culturally inspired dishes and nutritionally balanced meals, we will keep you fed and fueled. Ongoing nutrition and wellbeing programs with  fun food focused events will make you at home on the hill!
