Sustainability
We ensure that all of the waste is properly handled and repurposed when possible. For example, our food scraps are composted and then used as topsoil around campus.

The Evolution of Ice Cream
Ice cream has always been a big part of the BYU experience. The Culinary Support Center manufactures over 175,000 gallons of ice cream a year. Since 1949, we’ve created new flavors with everything from the timeless classic of Graham Canyon to specialty flavors like Blue Goggles.
A Football Tradition
The CougarTail made its debut in 2006, and is currently the most popular item at concessions. With each home game, over 7,000 CougarTails are sold.
Even the making of the CougarTail is a special process. With it’s own dedicated team, CougarTails are made right before kickoff.
