What's for Dinner

With new trends and fads in food, 49er shops and dining services turns to students to help keep up.

With such a diverse student population, a diverse selection of food is needed to suffice the masses. Many students are employed by the Forty-Niner shops and are able to voice their opinion directly, but for those who are not campus employees have some other ways to voice their thoughts.

Jenny Lew, is a registered dietitian who manages the residential dining operations. Rosa Hernandez explained many of the ways Lew involves students in the food selection. One being a "Diners Club meeting where students can make recommendations for menu options, vote on types of foods being offered, and even sample new recipes before they are introduced to the residents."

Forty-Niner Shops is also partners with the National Association of College and University Food Services, whom is able to provide national food trends, typically including the healthier options now being made available.

The Diners Club meets third week of the month on the following days. 3rd Wednesday at RLC DH 5:30pm. 3rd Thursday at Parkside DH @ 5:30pm and Residence DH @ 6:30pm.
