✨ Wrapping up an wonderful spring semester together 💚🌸🍽️

From Cheese & Dairy Fest and the 3rd Annual Catamount Culinary Showcase to our Local Meets Global Series and Earth Day Dinner, this semester was full of incredible food, community, and memories.

We loved cooking alongside you in our classes, welcoming Chef Tom Flurij from The Netherlands for our Global Chef events, showcasing student creativity during the Nutrition Class Station Takeover, trying tasty treats with the Cone Crush event, and helping everyone recharge with Build Your Own Açaí Bowls during finals week. 🌎✨🍦

Thank you, Catamounts, for bringing the energy, excitement, and joy to every meal and event this semester. You make our dining community so special. 💛

Have an amazing summer — we can’t wait to welcome you back this fall for even more delicious moments together! 🌞💚

Happy Earth Day!
We’re celebrating with some seriously delicious plant-forward meals in our dining halls tonight—because choosing more plant-forward options isn’t just good for you, it’s good for the planet too.

So what does “plant-forward” actually mean?
It’s not all-or-nothing—it’s about centering your meals around plant-based foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, nuts, and seeds, while incorporating smaller amounts of animal products if you choose. Think veggie-packed grain bowls, hearty salads, bean-based dishes, or swapping in plant proteins more often throughout the week.

Eating a plant-forward diet helps:
🌱 Lower greenhouse gas emissions
💧 Conserve water and natural resources

On Monday and Tuesday this week, we had the incredible honor of welcoming James Beard award-winning chef, artist, and author Bryant Terry to UVM for a truly unforgettable presentation and Meet the Chef experience.

Chef Bryant Terry brought his plant-forward, globally inspired cuisine to campus, sharing a powerful blend of flavor, storytelling, and cultural history. Through conversation and a shared meal, the campus community got a meaningful glimpse into Bryant Terry's work.

A huge thank-you to Chef Bryant Terry, our incredible UVM Dining team, and everyone who joined us throughout the day. Events like this show the power of food to connect our community!
