To The Dining Hall!

The dormitory dining halls accommodate numerous students throughout the week, serving them a balanced variety of nutritious food.

The buffet-style eateries have been designed by an award-winning Executive Chef and Register Dietitian to create a variety of foods fit to accommodate those ranging from meat-lovers to vegans. The menu runs on a 4-week cycle making it easier to not get sick of eating the same thing day after day. Its friendly environment attracts residents and non-residents throughout the week.

Residence Dining Hall employee, Yajaira Toledo, a sophomore studying sociology, says that she enjoys working there because it has a relaxed environment as long as you are doing what you are supposed to. It does not appear to be a stressful job, but not every employee is happy.

A former employee who wants to remain anonymous says he did not like working at the dining halls because of their unethical food practices. He is a vegan and feels like they do not follow a ethical standard of food preparation or handling.

The dining halls are open Monday through Friday for breakfast, lunch and dinner and also provide brunch and dinner on the weekends.
