Elior Collegiate Dining

The Dorm Room Poke Bowl! With temperatures dropping, it’s getting tougher for students to leave the warmth of their dorms—especially for a meal that feels both comforting and nourishing. West Virginia University's Chef Noah Fraley helps students create quick,healthy bowls right in their dorm room microwave which is such a win. Not only does it support well‑being during the winter months, but it also empowers students with easy, affordable cooking skills they can use all year long. Thank you Noah! #studentexperiences #bowlfoods #healthierfoods #nourishing #wellbeing

Dining That Makes a Difference in Recruitment! When prospective students visit campus, every interaction counts — including the meals they enjoy. At the College of Saint Mary (CSM), our dining team, led by Food Service Director Kyle Parks, recently earned high praise from the college's COO & Executive VP Nate Neufind. He stated that Kyle’s exceptional support for a prospective student with extensive dietary needs didn’t just make an impression — it sealed the deal! The student has chosen to enroll because of the care and personalized service received. This is the second time this year the team has gone above‑and‑beyond service which has directly contributed to a new student selecting CSM. Proud of Kyle and the dining team for creating impactful dining experiences every day!  #studentexperiences #culinary #nutritionalneeds #personalizedservices #impactfuldining #recruitmenttools

Featured in FSD Magazine! Elior’s recent multi‑campus tour of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) brought together culture, wellness, and culinary creativity, with a culinary competition hosted at Albany State University. Led by TV personality, HBCU alumnus and Elior Ambassador Terrence J, the tour showcased how student insights and campus feedback shaped the program’s design. “As someone who attended an HBCU, I know firsthand how much of what you put into your body affects how you perform academically, mentally, and physically,” Terrence J shared. In addition to Albany State, the tour visited several other HBCU campuses where dining is managed by Elior Collegiate including: Bowie State University, Miles College LeMoyne-Owen College, Savannah State University, and Morris College—engaging students, campus communities, and dining teams at every stop. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eBDcmQkg #HBCUschools #studentexperiences #culinarycreativity #culinarycompetitions #culturalfoods #healthandwellness

Friendsgiving was recently held at Albany State University (ASU) in GA, where ASU President, senior staff and cabinet members volunteered to serve students a premium turkey station carved by Frank Malinowski (pictured), Interim Vice President for Enrollment Management and Student Success. The delicious menu also featured honey pineapple glazed ham, collard greens, yams, rice, and cornbread.
