  • New Dining Concept Coming to the Student Union

    The Department of Dining Services will be presenting a new quick service restaurant this August with a focus on healthy options. “One Plate, Two Plates – Fast Food Served Healthy & Fresh” will be making its debut this August in the Student Union location next to Panda Express. Recognizing the need for a more expansive healthy choice menu, Dining is spending the summer developing menu items that include grain salads, vegetable wraps, and healthy tacos, to name just a few.  “One Plate, Two Plates” was conceived with the philosophy that our menu options will be made from non-processed foods. We realize there are individuals on campus that are looking to strive for a healthy balance when it comes to food. More individuals are seeking out natural foods versus foods made with artificial ingredients. We hope that creating a menu based on preparing real food made daily from scratch will meet our community’s needs. Watch for us in August!
