Special Events on Campus

memorable experiences

Our dining team loves to create unique, memorable events for our guests on campus. From our exclusive Farm to Fork dinners to our exciting Pop Up events, we want dining events to be remembered long after our guests leave campus. Here are just a few examples of special events that we organize each year.

Held monthly, students are invited to directly share their thoughts and ideas to our leadership team on how we are operating as a dining program.

FARM TO FORK DINNERS

Each month our culinary team works closely to curate a five-course dining experience for a small group of guests. Each dinner utilizes local ingredients, locally sourced handmade cutlery and is prepared right in front of our guests.

WOW EVENTS

We pull all the stops to created a themed event that delivers an immersive experience, complete with complimentary décor and a menu to match.

FOOD TRUCKS

Local vendors bring a street-style dining experience bursting with unique flavors of the region.
