New Mexico State University is First in Sodexo’s University Portfolio to Achieve Rise Safe Certification
November 12 2020 - 9:00AM
Sodexo announced today that New Mexico State University (NMSU) in
Las Cruces is the first in its university portfolio to achieve the
Rise Safe certification after passing a 37-point safety and
sanitation audit and an independent verification of compliance by
Bureau Veritas.
“Our teams have worked tirelessly to implement additional
practices and protocols throughout the NMSU community since the
start of the pandemic,” said Dwayne Wisniewski, general manager for
Sodexo dining at NMSU. “We want to reassure students, faculty and
the greater Las Cruces community of our continued commitment to
their health, safety and wellbeing.”
Launched earlier this year, the Rise Safe labeling program was
introduced as part of Sodexo’s return to work initiative. It was
created to standardize processes and procedures for education,
training, safety, sanitation and communications in response to the
pandemic and in adherence with CDC guidelines. It can be easily
adapted to align with additional rules set for by state and local
health officials.
“Sodexo has been a great partner to the NMSU community,” said
D’Anne Stuart, associate vice president for administration and
finance, NMSU. “The team’s attention to detail has been recognized
by our students, faculty and guests and we appreciate all of their
efforts.”
Sodexo has partnered with New Mexico State University for the
past decade providing food, catering, concierge and resident dining
services and recently extended their partnership through a 30-year
master collaboration agreement integrating all campus integrated
facilities management service lines, including maintenance, energy,
construction, events and concerts. The Rise Safe label will be
prominently displayed in all restaurants across campus.
