BETHLEHEM, Pa., July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Students at
Lehigh University can now enjoy nutritious food in an inviting
atmosphere that nourishes body and mind in their campus' newly
renovated Rathbone Dining Room. The renovation was managed by
Sodexho (NYSE:SDX). The dining room reopened earlier this year, and
is now a central point for students, offering an expanded selection
of healthy foods, an outdoor seating area and, innovative
architecture and design. Students at Lehigh are responding to the
changes with rave reviews. For example, Rathbone's healthier and
more extensive fresh food options gave Scott Wojciechowski,
Lehigh's freshman class president, the tools he needed to lose more
than 38 pounds. "Call it fate, but Rathbone re-opened as I turned
over my new weight-loss leaf," Wojciechowski said. "I accomplished
this with the help of the Fresh Choices option of salads, freshly
made soups and made-to-order sandwiches. I am enjoying a big boost
in self-confidence, and I'm finding new levels of optimism and joy
in my daily experiences." "With all these changes, Rathbone has
established itself as the place to see and be seen on campus," said
Bruce Christine, Sodexho general manager at Lehigh University. "The
new dining room shows Lehigh's priority to give students quality
food and a holistic approach to gaining a healthy lifestyle, which
is also one of Sodexho's key commitments to the students."
Christine added that the new Rathbone dining room is an extension
of Sodexho's healthy living and wellness program, Balance Mind,
Body and Soul. The Balance program offers students web-based
recipes, nutritional content of menu items and information about
nutrition, wellness and healthy living, including topics such as
dealing with stress, eating on the run, managing time and improving
concentration. Students can log on to this website at kiosks
located near the entrance to Rathbone. The new Rathbone now also
includes a Balance food station, which features vegetarian and
vegan dishes, and a variety of other new food stations. About
