I cannot even describe how pleased I am with everyone as we navigate our way through the fall semester. It is amazing to see how we can all come together to provide the best customer experience that we can in our current state. We have many team members working outside of their normal area to support our program and doing it with a smile on their face. What an amazing group of people I work with everyday. Thank you for all that you do Geno Svec Executive Director of Campus Services Chief Hospitality Officer
Apples have had a long-standing tradition in the Halloween celebrations! Whether it’s bobbing for them or picking them with friends, apples are part of great fall time fun and also have some healthy benefits. Apples are full of fiber, especially pectin, which acts as a prebiotic to feed the good bacteria, or microflora in your gut. This feeding of the good bacteria in turn allows the proper function of many of our body systems, such as the immune system, skeletal system, and respiratory system. Grab an apple from any of our dining commons and have a quick snack on the way to class.
Try a sliced apple in your morning oatmeal with brown sugar for a warm treat!
