Constitution Week

Well its Constitution Week here at UVU.  Gotta say, I'm kind of excited.  Ever heard of David McCullough?  If you haven't you should look into his books.  He is a historian specializing in the American Revolution.  I personally own two of his books and am very excited that he is coming to UVU to speak this week.  Get your tickets while you can. 

As for the rest of campus, things seem to be getting into the swing of things.  Students are forming habits as to where to study (Library and Science building hallway seem to be the place of choice), sleep (out on the lawn under a tree is where I see most people), and eat (any Dining Service location).  Rockin' Robbies our new burger place seems to be doing great.  Personally I am hooked on their cheese burgers and over the rim milk shakes.  Here in the Valley View we stay very busy serving up everyone's favorites.  This week we have Baked Ziti for our Meatless Monday option, Tuesday don't miss out on our Navajo Taco, Wednesday is the ever popular Enchilada, Thursday we are premiering a Fish Taco, and Friday we have the Spicy Honey Chicken Wrap.

Hope to see you here!

The Meatless Monday Movement

I know we have talked about this one before but I recently stumbled upon a couple of interesting articles about the Meatless Monday Movement and how it affects our lives.  Thought you might be interesting in reading them. 

Just click on the Meatless Monday Movement sign below to be linked to the first article:  We May All Be Vegetarians in 40 Years by Jessica Chou, Editor for The Daily Meal

We All May Be Vegetarians in 40 Years

 

The Foodie Journal has done an interview with Sid Lerner the creater of the Meatless Monday Campaign and how it came to be.

Summer Comes to an End

As with all good things, Summer is now coming to an end here at UVU.  Things are starting to get back into full swing here in Dining Services.  Prospective students are wandering the halls, random conferences and events are taking place and what is left of summer classes are finishing up.

On the business end of things we are looking to start hiring and training our fall staff.  Valley View is no exception to this rule and has officially hired a new Assistant Supervisor:  Ibrahim Tashman.  At this point we are looking to hire the rest of our staff.  For the most part we need people who are friendly that can work 20 hours a week during our lunch rush (11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m -ish.).  If you are interested just click on over to the UVU.edu site, hover about Employment, Click on Human Resources, hover over Employment, and finally click on Open Positions.  (Or just click HERE)  You will need to search for Dining Services positions (there are a bunch right now). 

Welcome Japanese Students

For those of you who may not have noticed last week we have a visiting group to our campus.  Every year a group of Automotive Japanese students come to UVU to learn about American Cars.  This year is no exception and a larger than last years' group came to visit us until the end of the month.  They tend to descend in one large group upon our eating establishments and love to try American food.  For those of you in a hurry, or just trying to beat a rush know that they usually eat between 11:45-12:15 each day.  For the rest of you stop on by and make a new friend- or 80.  I know we are! 

So on the behalf of UVU Dining Services I would like to say Welcome to all visiting students this summer.

Pardon our Construction

If its not one thing it is another right?  Well we have all become pro's at this new intersection and then it seems that the world decides to throw another wrench into things.  Dining Services is actually under construction as well this summer.  We will be receiving a Taco Bell and a new Burger Station.  Valley View is staying mostly the same, our changes will most likely happen during weekend hours and really wont change much.  We will have a bit of traffic congestion this month as the Upward Bound group shares the cafeteria with us.  We are trying to keep the flow organized so don't be afraid and let us know if you have any problems that we can fix.
