Perk #2 of having a meal plan: Never lose your parking spot. 🚗 Save time, save your great spot after lunch because you can enjoy dining on campus. Find your perfect meal plan at dineoncampus.com

This we'd like to thank our associates for working so hard to ensure we serve food safely. Each year our associates go through the Fare Check certification process before preparing your meals.

If June is National Fruits and Vegetables Month as well as National Candy Month...let's just split the difference and enjoy some fruit candy. 🍓 🍏 🍬 🍭
Or maybe we're just missing the sweets from the Market.

Happy National Dairy Month! 🐄 We want to take this time to thank the farmers that ensure we provide 100% RBgH-free milk in our dining hall...and the cows too, of course.
