Dietary Needs and Dining Resources
Students with dietary needs should work directly with Bon Appétit to learn about available dining options and resources. Bon Appétit offers a range of supports for students managing food allergies, intolerances, and other dietary needs, and many needs can be accommodated within the existing dining program and meal plan.
- Robin Fortado (Robin.Fortado [at] cafebonappetit.com (Robin[dot]Fortado[at]cafebonappetit[dot]com)), General Manager of Bon Appétit at Emmanuel College, is the primary contact for students seeking information about dining accommodations and can discuss available options and levels of support on a case-by-case basis.
- Daniele Rossner (Daniele.Rossner [at] cafebonappetit.com), Regional Manager of Nutrition and Wellness for Bon Appétit, is available to discuss general dietary needs or nutrition questions.
Bon Appétit offers different levels of support to meet dietary needs within existing meal plans. Students are asked to engage with available dining resources before accommodations are considered. Once students have already been in contact with Bon Appétit, they can seek formal dining accommodations with Student Accessibility and Accommodations.
