What halal dining really means for Muslims 

Food is a delicious and essential necessity of life. When students are on campus, away from home, having access to halal food throughout the academic year, and not just Ramadan, is an important part of making campuses inclusive for all.  Additionally, many international students remain on campus all year and they also will require consistent access to halal meals.  You will learn what halal is, how to offer it, and how to make sure that food security includes halal meals for Muslim students.
