Special Diets

At Columbia Dining, your children are our children.  We take pride in accommodating all special diets, including Kosher and Halal meals as well as any food allergy or intolerance.  We truly believe that it is our job to take care of students so that they can focus on academic life without worrying about what to eat on campus. 

Registered Dietitian Kristie Koerner manages food allergies and verifies that all food items are labeled properly.  She is available for consultation as well as for personal meal planning for students with food allergies.  Please contact her with any questions at kk2770@columbia.edu
