Dining

In January of 2018, Wells implemented a new provider for our dining services, Hallmark Management Service, Inc. Hallmark's management team worked quickly throughout the transition and is implementing new programs and services under Campus Dining & Events—such as a more convenient catering system, an "Eco To-Go" system using reusable containers, and expanded healthier offerings including increased vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.

Campus Dining & Events is evaluating facilities, planning menus, and determining ways to build on the current program. For full information including weekly menus, visit the new Campus Dining and Events website.
