Social Responsibility
Reducing, Reusing, Recycling
Reducing waste, recycling and compositing items are common practices in our dining halls and cafés & markets. We preserve our natural resources by recycling cardboard, glass, plastic, coffee grounds, aluminum, tin, paper, and more than one-third of our food waste. University Dining Services is one of the three largest recyclers of food in Whatcom County. Our popular Recycle Mug program encourages customers to reduce their use of disposable cups and instead go reusable. Consumer Education
We see it as our role to be a resource to students regarding healthful eating, nutrition, sustainability, and how to be a socially responsible consumer. Be sure to look for helpful information in our dining halls and cafés & markets. Fair Wages and Safe Working Conditions
Our socially responsible practices extend to the way in which we treat our employees. Equitable pay, fair treatment, equal opportunity, protection from harassment and discrimination, and safe working conditions are guaranteed to all members of our staff. Employees may also receive medical, dental, vision, disability and/or life insurance, educational, financial and disaster relief assistance, free meals, and flex points. >Stop Hunger
Every year, we coordinate a drive on campus that collects non-perishable foods and funds to support the Bellingham Food Bank. Students, faculty and staff can donate cash, Flex Points, or Munch Money at resident dining commons and selected cafés & markets. We partner with our friends at Circle K International to coordinate this fundraiser. |
