Grabbing a bite to eat is super easy at UMD. With the state-of-the-art Superior Dining Center there're tons of awesome options including fresh fruit, salad and grains, make-and-take sandwiches, and even a Mongolian Grill. Not to mention a full food court and coffee shop.
The Superior Dining Center (SDC) serves three meals a day, five days a week, and brunch and dinner on the weekends. Students living on campus can choose from multiple meal plans for this “all you care to eat” center.
UMD Dining Services prioritizes sustainability by collaborating with UMD Land Labs to feature fresh produce, partnering with local businesses for supplies, and actively seeking new sustainable food partnerships. To reduce waste, they engage in meal planning, portion control, bulk ordering, and donating excess food to Second Harvest Northern Lakes Food Bank. They also recycle aluminum, plastic, and glass, provide compostable alternatives in certain areas, and promote the use of reusable containers through their Reusable Container Program. Fresh Leaf Catering goes a step further by offering zero-waste-to-landfill events through practices like using washable dishware, donating surplus food, and composting leftovers.
