You Are What You Eat
In addition to providing you with a wide variety of high quality dining options, Carnegie Mellon Dining Services is focused on educating our students about the role your diet plays in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The bimonthly Dining Dish newsletter provides healthy dining, exercise, and lifestyle tips for students throughout the year.
Vegan and Vegetarian
There are many vegan and vegetarians choices for students around campus. Evgestos in the University Center offers strictly vegan and vegetarian Mediterranean inspired dishes. This dining location is popular with all students, even those you do not follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. Most of our other dining locations also offer vegan and vegetarian options.
Resources at Student Health Services
Student Health Services provides students with a very comprehensive nutrition guide to help you make smart eating choices and learn more about the foods you eat. If you would like to improve your eating habits and work towards a healthier lifestyle, schedule a counseling session with our full-time registered dietitian and nutritionist, Paula Martin MS, RD, LDN.
Peer Health Advocates (PHAs), based in Student Health Services, can provide the "Tartan Nutrition Tips: How to have a Dynamite Diet" presentation for your student group or residence hall. The Peer Health Advocates will be out and about at campus events throughout the year, so be sure to stop by and introduce yourself.
If you would like to learn more about healthy eating, Student Health Services also offers a different health and wellness minicourse each semester listed under the university wide 99 course offerings. In the past these courses have included Personal Nutrition, Health and Wellness Across the Spectrum and Managing Stress, Restoring Harmony.
Fitness on Campus
There are also many resources available to you on-campus to make sure that you maintain your health during your time at Carnegie Mellon. Fitness facilities in the University Center, Skibo Gym and residential complexes allow you to lead a healthier lifestyle that will benefit you for the rest of your life!
