A well-fed student is a well-performing student.
MIT Campus Dining operates six all-you-care-to eat dining halls in proud partnership with Bon Appetit.
All meal plan holders have opportunity to meet with our on-campus registered dietitian, Giuseppina ‘Pina’ Boatwright, should they have questions or concerns around food allergies, dietary restrictions or how to navigate the dining halls.

She received a Bachelor of Science from Simmons College in Boston in clinical nutrition and dietetics and a master’s in public health (Health care management and economics) from Bocconi University in Milan Italy. Health and wellness is a personal and professional passion for Pina.
