A seasonal change at lunch
Roasted squash and grain bowls, tomato and white-bean soup, and herbed chicken with seasonal vegetables are among the dishes appearing on the autumn menu at The Commons.
The menu changes through the term, with posted ingredients and a dining team available for questions about a particular meal. Apple oat crumble is one of the season’s shared-table favorites.
A conversation before a choice
Dining Manager Jamie Ross encourages students with dietary needs to begin with a conversation before choosing a plan. A menu label can be useful, but an individual arrangement requires a clear understanding of what the kitchen can provide.
The standard plan includes fourteen meals per week and $150 in campus dining credit each semester. The credit is included in the published $2,400 semester plan price.
A room used throughout the day
The Commons is open longer than some of its meal-service windows. A student can meet a friend, wait for a club activity or ask the welcome desk for a campus direction between services.
The dining page separates weekday breakfast, lunch and dinner from weekend brunch and dinner, making it easier to plan a meal around a class or a meeting.
