We are pleased to announce two new meal options for faculty and staff to dine on campus. Let Dining Services do the cooking. Instead of having to remember to bring your meals with you or spend the time or money at restaurants off campus, faculty and staff can now purchase one or both of the following new meal options:
– The Faculty and Staff Block Meal Plan
– The Skylight Room Frequency Plan
By purchasing a meal plan, you will enjoy the variety of delicious, healthy, fresh food every day at convenient on campus venues (without losing your parking space!) for breakfast, lunch or dinner. These options provide meals at a discounted rate and can be used for any meal, year round.
Faculty and Staff Block Meal Plan
– This plan provides a block of 20 meals which can be used at True Grit’s or any retail dining operation on campus (excluding Skylight Room, which has a separate program).
With the retail venues, one can purchase the value meal, or one will get a dollar amount (equivalency) depending on the meal to use towards their retail purchase. The current retail equivalency dollar amounts are $4.75 for breakfast and $5.25 for lunch and dinner.
– You can purchase multiple F/S Block Meal Plans.
– The meal plans do not expire.
– You will receive 3% Chartwells reward dollars on your campus card account for additional food purchases.
– You can use the meals anyway you like, inviting friends, family or guests to dine with you.
Skylight Room Frequency Plan:
– This plan provides for the purchase of 10 Skylight Room meals, and you get the 11th meal fre.
– You can purchase multiple Skylight Room Plans.
– The meal plans do not expire.
– You can use the meals anyway you like, inviting friends, family or guests to dine with you.
