Jewell Dining Hall
Food should be a fun, memorable experience for all. Our dining halls are arranged around destinations – action station areas that promote fun and excitement at everyday meals. Instead of all the food preparation occurring behind the scenes in a back kitchen, Fresh Ideas brings the action of a kitchen to the students. Food can be exciting, beautiful, tasty and fun – an experience to remember.
This all-you-care-to-eat dining venue offers a variety of menu options. Food is produced from the freshest ingredients and prepared just for you. Choose from the deluxe salad-deli-soup bar, the Chef’s Table featuring comfort food with a twist, Fresh Fusion for healthy options, Trattoria for pizza, pastas and more, the Culinary Expo with daily fun creations or try one of our Chef’s Suggestions.
