Social Distancing

Student Dinner Meal Plan will only offer Grab & Go options and there will be limited seating provided in 50 Haven Ave. Ballroom. Student meal plan serves dinner three times a week in Ballroom. Dinner includes hot entrée options, salad bowl, soup, dessert and choice of beverage.

You can also show a photo or hard copy of your official vaccination record to a Faculty Club representative.
