We are excited to introduce the updated UMD Campus Food Service Policy. This streamlined policy is designed to provide our campus community—student organizations, faculty, and staff—with greater flexibility when planning events, while maintaining the high standards of food safety and quality you expect.
What’s New?
- Expanded Catering Options
You now have the freedom to choose any catering service for your on-campus events. This update offers more customization to meet your specific event needs, while ensuring compliance with important food safety guidelines. - Simplified Menus
Due to an ongoing kitchen remodel, Fresh Leaf Catering will be simplifying its menus to ensure we continue delivering high-quality service, even with current capacity limitations. - Food Safety & Permits
As always, food safety remains a top priority. Certain guidelines—such as acquiring food permits, rules for home-baked goods, and potluck regulations—are still in place to protect the health of our community.
Temporary Website Updates
As part of these exciting changes, our website is currently under construction. During this process, some sections may be temporarily unavailable as we update information and streamline our services. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to improve your online experience.
For more details on the updated policy, you can still access the full policy document or contact our team directly for any questions or assistance.
What This Means for You
Our goal with these changes is to make event planning at UMD more adaptable and supportive. Whether you're planning a large event or a small gathering, we believe these updates will enhance your experience while prioritizing the safety and satisfaction of our entire UMD community.
Thank you for being part of this exciting new chapter for UMD Dining Services! We look forward to continuing to serve you and making your campus events a success.
