This behind-the-scenes look at �ֲ��ý’ Dining Services really highlights the dedication and hard work that goes into providing meals for the campus community. From Jane Herrick’s early morning preparations to the team working seamlessly together to serve nearly 5,000 meals, it’s clear that a lot of effort goes into making sure students and faculty have a positive dining experience. I love how the staff’s pride in their work shines through, and it’s inspiring to see how much they care about the students and the quality of food. This is a great example of how food service can be an essential part of the campus experience!

Thank you for this well-deserved tribute to the people behind Commons’ reputation as one of the best college dining programs in the country. I thought the �ֲ��ý’ eating experience was fantastic back in the 70s–I mean–yogurt! bagels!–but really it was pretty pedestrian compared to today. The huge array of choices, the emphasis on healthy/local/sustainable, the sophisticated design, the natural light–mealtimes are one of the top reasons I never miss reunions! But what hasn’t changed, I’m so glad to see, is the warm, respectful relationship between staff and students and administration. That has always been one of the things I value and honor most about �ֲ��ý. Thanks again for a great story.

Thanks for sharing these behind the scene stories. I always appreciated the dining staff, both for the excellent food and for the welcoming and caring attitudes. I was raised knowing you can learn anywhere. My freshman fifteen came and went thanks to the healthy options available. Having a great home cooked meal made a great environment to learn in.
