Alfred University Announces Partnership with Sodexo to Enhance Campus Life and Student Belonging
Alfred University and Sodexo have entered into a new partnership set to enhance the campus dining experience, leveraging Sodexo’s innovative services and culinary excellence. Effective June 1, the new partnership is the result of several months of careful evaluation to determine which dining services provider would best support students and strengthen their sense of belonging at the private university in western New York, which was founded in 1836.
Plans are well underway to introduce new dining concepts, expanded menu variety, wellness-focused and allergen-friendly options, renovated dining and gathering spaces, a campus food truck, and experiential dining events at Alfred University. Through its partnership with the university, Sodexo will also provide student employment, internships, mentorship opportunities, sustainability and nutrition programming, as well as expanded catering services and more than 60 special events each semester designed to foster community, engagement, and belonging across campus.
“We are honored to begin this partnership with Alfred University and to support a campus community so deeply committed to student-centered experiences, connection, creativity, and growth,” said Tim MacTurk, vice president of Sodexo Campus Operations. “Sodexo’s commitment to creating memorable experiences and spaces of belonging through food aligns naturally with Alfred’s mission. Our focus will be on listening, collaborating, and elevating the dining program to better campus life and build community for the students we serve.”
