Dining Services is always on the lookout for
new ways to contribute to Smith's sustainability campaign. For the second
year, we have passed out "to-go" water bottles to every student in order to cut
down on disposable goods.
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 (8) guest tickets have been programmed into the OneCard for board paying students. If you have additional guests, please contact the Dining Services Office for more information about how you could purchase more - x2300.
China cannot be removed from the dining room.
If you need to take your meal/food out of the dining room, you must provide a small Tupperware dish. To improve our sustainable efforts, paper products will not be provided in the dining locations.
Smith offers an Off-Campus Meal Plan to Smith
students who are not on the regular meal plan. Click for more information about this
plan and a downloadable sign-up sheet.
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 us know what meal(s)/days you need the pass for. An electronic copy of the meal pass will be sent to the host campus. You should go to the host Dining Services Office and they will assign you to a dining location.
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.
We have provided all Smith students with an aluminum water bottle; eliminated paper goods and bottled water in our dining operations. |
