Sustainability Award for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion/Social Justice

The NACUFS Sustainability Awards acknowledge the pivotal role dining services play in advancing environmental sustainability and social responsibility of a campus.

This year, the Gold Award-winning 鈥淔lavours of the Caribbean鈥 collaboration at the Dining Commons brought together the Black Student Centre, 51猎奇入口Dining Services, and an external community partner to create a meaningful celebration of culture, community, and collaboration.  

鈥淔lavours of the Caribbean鈥 transformed the Dining Commons into a space for cultural exchange, storytelling, and community connection. In partnership with the Black Student Centre, the program featured Chef Cullin David, a local Black chef who co-created a menu showcasing Caribbean-inspired dishes and Black culinary traditions. The initiative encouraged dialogue and learning by highlighting the significance of Black History Month and sharing the chef鈥檚 stories, recipes, and the cultural significance behind each dish. It also amplified the voices of SFU鈥檚 Black student and staff community through personal reflections, creating an inclusive and meaningful celebration of Black History Month.

鈥淭his recognition from NACUFS emphasizes the importance of celebrating the rich culture and history of Black people through the beautiful medium of food. The Black Student Centre serves as a vital support for events such as 'Flavours of the Caribbean,' fostering an inclusive space for cultural dialogue. We sincerely appreciate Chef Cullin David for showcasing his vision of Black culture through his cuisine, which enriches the experiences of Black students and the broader 51猎奇入口community.鈥 - Daniel Sheriff, Associate Director, Black Student Centre
