You asked... we listened!

Dr. Seuss once said, “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” Now… do I have your attention! Read on to find out just how much you have to learn about what’s new and hot in Dining Services!

The beauty of sharing feedback to Dining is that WE LISTEN! We are here to serve you and want you to know that our ultimate goal is to provide an exciting, meaningful dining experience for your college years. Yes, we want you to be well fed and nourished, but we also strive to bring you unique dishes and concepts that are not found in other universities. (Heck, that’s what made us #19 in the nation’s top college foodservice survey!).

But, we also want to make sure your happy and feel excited when you walk into our restaurants, confident you can find something that makes you feel comforted and satisfied.  So, without further ado, check out some recent updates to Dining at some of our locations!

    1. Hi Tobin. Thanks for checking out the TasteBuds Blog. Dining always loves to get feedback from our customers, and will continue to strive to excel in the food we serve on campus. Just in case you didn't know, Canyon Vista also serves a rotating Chopping Block platform and pizza most nights for dinner, in addition to a variety of deli sandwiches, soups, and chicken sandwiches for lunch.
