The Dining Hall operates 7 days a week, with varying meal service and operational hours on weekends and during academic breaks.


Who We’re Looking For:

We are looking for someone who is dependable, steady under pressure, and enjoys working in a team environment that serves students.

The ideal candidate will:

Campus Life & Engagement:

Our Dining Hall is also a place of connection and community. We are beginning to grow opportunities for small events, themed meals, and student engagement activities within the Dining Hall space.

We are looking for someone who enjoys being part of that kind of environment — someone who brings a positive, flexible attitude and is willing to jump in and help make events enjoyable for students.

We value individuals who have a service-minded and mission-driven approach to their work, and who see this role as more than just a job, but as an opportunity to invest in students and campus life.
