SMU Dining is offering new options for students to take advantage of when they are on the hunt for chow. RoFC in Umphrey Lee is now offering flavored pizza crusts, sushi, edamame, homemade salad dressing and bread as well as extended gluten free options.
Einstein’s in the Cox School of Business will now serve bagel thin sandwiches, the Starbucks cart in Meadows will be offering Tazo Tea options and Subway in The Varsity is now serving breakfast.
In a dramatic turn around from last year, SMU Dining has agreed to extend their hours on Friday and Saturday evenings. Mac’s Place now be open from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. in order to quell the concerns of students who felt that SMU Dining didn’t provide adequate options for dining on the weekends. The move was made as a result of Student Senate legislation authored by then-senators Alex Mace and David Archer.
“I think this is a great move,” Mace said. “It’s a good way to start.”
The legislation was accompanied by a petition signed by over 750 students, and also advocated an extension of hours at RoFC. “Now its just up to students to follow through on the rest of the things they asked for on the petition,” Mace said.
