Dining Services is always on the lookout for
new ways to contribute to Smith's sustainability campaign. For the last couple of
years, we have passed out "to-go" mugs to every student in order to cut
down on disposable goods. The mug this year was designed by a Smith student, Katie
Constantine '08J.
Locally Grown Vegetables
Locally grown vegetables are purchased whenever possible. Local farms raise crops
without heavy use of pesticides and other harmful chemicals and provide a better
life for livestock. Buying locally supports the local economy and helps keep these
small family farms in business in a world of corporate factory farms.
You can learn more about some of our other
efforts on the Green
Smith site.
Here you will find the answers to questions
that are circulating on campus or have been e-mailed to dining@smith.edu.
Send us your questions and feedback!
You can e-mail dining@smith.edu,
and the director of Dining Services, Kathleen Zieja, will read your inquiry and respond
in one of two ways. If it is a specific question, you will receive a personal response;
if there are common themes and all students would benefit by the answer, then we
will post the answer on this page. We welcome your feedback and comments, so please
send us your questions.
There are some dining rooms listed on Job X
- under the Student Financial Services web site. You may also contact the Dining
Services office (ext. 2300) and ask for Steve Lenter. There are still openings, and
Dining Services is anxious to fill the positions!
Mountain Day is the annual fall break from
classes that has been a Smith tradition for more than a century. On one beautiful,
crisp fall day, the President will declare Mountain Day! College bells in the Quadrangle,
the Helen Hills Hills Chapel and College Hall will ring at 7:05, 7:15, and 7:30 a.m.
to announce the holiday. Classes and academic appointments are canceled until 7 p.m.
Please note that evening events, like films and lectures, will be held as scheduled. Click for more information.
Dining Services is happy to work with individual
students who have documented food allergies. If you know you have a food allergy,
you should call the Dining Services office (585-2300) and ask to speak to Kathy Zieja
right away.
Since nuts are a known cause of potentially
severe allergic reaction, all our food stations are set up to keep nuts separate
from the rest of the food being served. In addition, foods containing nuts are clearly
labeled.
Yes. Each student MUST present her OneCard
to the meal checker for access into the dining room.
Please visit www.smith.edu/its/services/onecard.html for
information about lost, stolen, or damaged OneCards.
Eight guest tickets have been programmed into
the OneCard.
China cannot be removed from the dining room.
If you need to take food out of the dining room and don't have your Tupperware dish,
contact your kitchen staff and they will provide you with paper products. Paper products
are kept in the kitchen to support sustainability efforts. Use your dining mug!
Smith offers an Off-Campus Meal Plan to Smith
students who are not on the regular meal plan. You will find information about this
plan and a downloadable sign-up sheet on the Dining
Services site.
Yes. Students on the board plan may get a
Five College dining pass to eat at one of the other colleges. Contact the Dining
Services office by phone (ext. 2300) or e-mail Erika
Herring. You must let them know what meal(s) you need the pass for. Once you
get the Five College meal pass, you bring the pass to the other campus dining service
office and they will assign you a place to eat.
Students do not need an academic reason
for weekly lunch meals; for dinner and weekend meals, you must inform the Dining
Service office of the class or academic reason that requires you to be at the other
campus.
Hubbard is open for continental breakfast
from 7 - 11 a.m. and then an "expanded"
continental breakfast from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. The printed menu always lists some breakfast
sandwiches, quiches, hot sandwiches and other options. The staff adds more items
to the menu. The options include yogurt, pre-made salads, sandwiches, and fresh fruit.
Macaroni and cheese and chili will be served as a lunch option occasionally.
This year all Smith students received
a special bottle jug. In order to support sustainability efforts, we will no longer have bottled water
available in the dining rooms, so we encourage you to bring your jug to meals. For more information about Smith's efforts to foster sustainability,
visit the Green Smith Web site. |
