The National Association of College & University Food Services (NACUFS) organization recognizes institutions who creatively showcase their special diet offerings and it celebrates exemplary menus, presentations, special event planning, and new dining concepts. This year NACUFS announced Campus Auxiliary Services (CAS) as the recipient of two silver awards for the 2024 NACUFS Nutrition category of Special Diet Recipe of the Year (Lentil Tostada with Poblano Corn Salsa; Spicy Black Bean Quinoa Burger with Mango Salsa), and a gold award for the Loyal E. Horton Dining Awards category for Retail Sales: Single Concept of the Year (Kishido).
Representatives from the Campus Auxiliary Services administrative, culinary, and marketing teams attended the 2024 NACUFS National Conference held in Louisville, Kentucky from July 17–20, when all award recipients were officially recognized. All attendees participated in daily learning sessions to enhance their culinary knowledge and skills, with discussion topics including sustainability, community engagement, special dietary needs, leadership, enhancing your cooking, and more. Each session was carefully crafted to ensure that those in attendance received the tools necessary to enhance their ability to better serve their campus communities.
The CAS team had the opportunity to network with attendees from colleges and universities located throughout the United States. This conference presented all teams with a chance to share ideas on college dining, connect, and create everlasting relationships. This event also allows campus dining to explore and discover various brands in the dining industry, testing their products and partnering to bring new products to their respective college campuses.

Our services and offerings are constantly evolving to meet the diverse dietary needs of our campus community.
