In response to concerns raised in that survey, the UAS board of directors hired Sodexho-Marriott Consulting Services to administer a broader survey of the University community faculty and staff, as well as students regarding residence hall, retail, and catering food services. In general, students, faculty, and staff requested food that is fresh and healthy, prepared in a clean environment, and served by customer-friendly staff. During the summer, UAS associates were educated or re-educated about food safety, cooking methods, management, and customer service, resulting in enhancements to both menus and service. We do have some room to adjust for items that are especially popular or unpopular. It s not written in stone.

Salad and deli bar offerings have been expanded, and many more foods are prepared fresh and on-site, eliminating the need for warmed convenience foods. Fresh-baked desserts are available in each residence hall dining room at both lunch and dinner. Change is also the order of the day at the Campus Center, where three new food units have opened. The Espresso Shoppe is a full-service coffee bar that serves flavored coffees, espresso, latte, and cappuccino. Lotsa Pasta, as its name implies, daily serves up two varieties of pasta, sauce, and other hot toppings, as well as garlic bread and salad.
