Dining Services

Dining Services serves food in the Community Center, the hub of student life and community on campus.

We strive to support the well-being of Mount Holyoke students, faculty, staff, alumnae and guests by providing delicious food prepared with care and thoughtfulness. Because we recognize that dining preferences and needs are extremely individual, we offer diverse and extensive menu options, as well as flexible hours. We consistently work to provide a safe and pleasant dining environment for everyone at Mount Holyoke College.

We are dedicated to supporting the Mount Holyoke College community by:

  • preparing fresh, nutritious, well-prepared foods
  • including a wide variety of well-crafted menus for our diverse campus
  • striving to purchase and provide education about local and sustainable foods.
