Food Services

The La Sierra University Food Service Department's primary mission is to satisfy the daily dietary needs of students through Student Dining Services. Our second priority is to provide support for the official social functions of the University and the dining requirements of the University Board of Trustees and Administration. Our third priority is to assist with discretionary social events that are planned by students, administration, faculty, and staff. Our final priority is to assist the institution in its support of the University community by fulfilling individual catering requests. These requests are accepted only when they will not interfere with the department's three top priorities.
