Keene State College has a goal of reaching AASHE Platinum rating by 2025. Part of reaching this goal is to enhance our sustainable dining program, Keene State Dining is committed to serving locally, regionally, and sustainably grown, produced, and manufactured items to the greatest extent possible. Many of these items are included regularly in the dining commons and campus retail outlets. Other items are purchased for special events such as the annual Localvore Day (which highlights all Dining’s local producers), as well as farm to table dinners highlighting the local sustainable seafood program. The sustainability commitment of Keene State Dining is part of the College’s broader efforts to promote a culture of sustainability and accountability. The dining services at KSC, Chartwells Higher Ed, is helping us meet our sustainable dining goals. You can learn more about Chartwells Sustainability Commitment here.
