Great events don’t just happen; they’re thoughtfully brought to life by our operators. From intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations, our teams bring creativity, precision, and a deep understanding of hospitality to every detail. It’s how they transform moments into experiences that feel seamless, memorable, and uniquely tailored to each guest and community. When expertise is connected with heart and meets intention, every event becomes something unforgettable.
This summer, we had the chance to get out into the fields and visit some of our FarmSource partners. Seeing our produce growing firsthand and learning more about the people behind it was a great reminder of the impact local partnerships have on our communities and food system.
Through our FarmSource program, we work with local farmers and producers who supply peak-season ingredients directly to our kitchens, helping us serve fresh, high-quality food while advancing our sustainability efforts.
A big thank you to the teams at Pine Valley Farms and Eden Hall Farm for welcoming us and for all they do to help grow a more sustainable future!
Catering is both an art and a science, and our teams are experts in both.
Our Catering Showcases bring together variety, innovation, and thoughtful presentation to make each guest experience unforgettable.
Because when expertise meets creativity and a team connected with heart, every event shines.
Prioritizing student wellness goes beyond what`s on the menu! Our team at @bluestreakdining recently hosted a Wellness Week filled with giveaways, opportunities for connection, brain-boosting meals, and activities that encouraged students to spread kindness through notes of encouragement. It`s initiatives like these that help create meaningful experiences, foster community, and support student well-being both inside and outside the dining hall!
Great food starts with knowing where it comes from and who’s behind it.
For the last 30 years, our culinarians have partnered closely with our Know Your Source network to bring thoughtfully sourced ingredients into every kitchen. From local farms to trusted artisan partners, these collaborations shape menus, spark creativity, and connect our guests more deeply to what’s on their plate. When sourcing is rooted in values, every ingredient has a story and every dish carries it forward.
Our operators don’t just work in their communities – they’re part of them. From the campuses and Corporate locations they serve to the partnerships they build beyond our walls, our teams create meaningful connections that go far beyond the dining room. It’s these relationships that are rooted in values that shape the experience, strengthen communities, and make the work more than just a role.
It’s World Plant Milk Day! 🥛 We`re proud to offer dairy-free alternatives at our dining locations and cafés, making it easier for guests to find options that fit their dietary needs and preferences!
Creating an exceptional dining experience means every guest feels welcome, safe, and included. Follow a day in the life of Parkhurst intern and @dineatune guest Emme as she puts food safety into practice. As students head back to campus, we`re proud to support those managing food allergies through concepts like Inspired Eats, which offers options free from the top nine major allergens. With partners such as @foodallergy, we`re continuing to make inclusive dining a priority.
Congratulations to our @menutrinfo AllerTrain certified team members and the dedicated staff behind our AllerCheck Approved Clean Plate station! 👏
Every day, these team members help create safe, welcoming dining experiences for guests with food allergies. Through specialized training and careful procedures that help prevent cross-contact, they go above and beyond to ensure guests can dine with confidence.
Thank you for your commitment to guest safety and hospitality! @mercyhurstdining @loyoladining
Our team members always understand the assignment 👏 @ursinusdining
Last week, we gathered in our hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, for our annual Day of Smiles, coming together to give back, support our communities, and share the joy of serving others. We`re so thankful for our team members whose enthusiasm, kindness, and dedication helped make a meaningful impact. A special thank you to our amazing community partners for the important work they do every day and for welcoming us as part of this wonderful tradition. ❤️ @beverlyspgh @dfspgh @pghfoodbank @shimpgh @westmorelandfoodbank @globallinks
