Avoiding cross-contact, proper food handling, recognizing anaphylaxis, where allergens (i.e. gluten) are hidden
Our Executive Chef and Resident Director are both ServSafe Allergen and AllerTrain certified. All other managers are ServSafe certified.
Students can indicate on their incoming housing forms if they need accommodations. We try to avoid most common allergens (although not necessarily gluten) when choosing foods for programs.
I would encourage any student with a food allergy to register with the Office of Student Accessibility Services and also to discuss that information directly with their Residence Life staff members so that we are aware and better able to be inclusive and meet their needs.
New students indicate on their housing application if they have any need for accommodations. The Office of Residence Life then works with the Office of Student Accessibility, who processes those requests, and implements the recommendations of that office regarding how to best provide the accommodations that have been approved. Returning students are asked to request their accommodations (new or continued) through the Office of Student Accessibility prior to the room lottery in the spring to ensure that any new needs are identified and that existing needs continue to be met.
Students may also contact our food service provider, AVI Fresh, directly about food allergies.
Students submit accommodations requests (of all kinds, including those related to allergies) through the Office of Student Accessibility Services. The request form will be located online starting January 2019. At the current time, students can reach out to the office to obtain the written request form and/or talk with staff about their accommodations requests. Once we have received a request, we work with the student and our food service provider to ensure approved accommodations are provided.
Please be sure to reach out to use with questions about accommodations – we are happy to help!
Athletic Trainers keep epinephrine only for those who have a prescription and have provided it to them for administration.
For medical issues which require immediate assistance, we call on Alliance City Fire and Paramedics. They are housed, conveniently, just one block from the campus so their response time is excellent. Additionally, the Alliance City Hospital is a quick two blocks away so we are very fortunate to have quick access to first-rate medical assistance when there is a need.
