Spring 2008– Howdy! – Can you believe that it is 2008? We welcome back all Aggies and extend a special welcome to all new Aggies. We strive to make your dining experiences the best with both flexibility and options that will suit your individual lifestyle. Our new meal plan options have been a success with the students, since students’ feedback has been the basis for our meal plans.Each meal plan, whether it be one with more Dining Dollar$ or one with more Meals, has many delectable choices. AND……most importantly......the meal plans have a built-in discount to save you money whenever you dine on campus. Our entire dining services team looks forward to serving you.As always, I want to keep you updated on the latest innovations, changes, additions and plans for future projects. I am pleased to share with you the following information:

We are pleased to introduce a new concept at our Pie Are Square location entitled “Pickles” – serving soups, salads and “made-to-order” sandwiches.
