Dining Services
| Gibbons Dining Hall serves as the primary eating facility for conference guests,
which offers an “all-you-care-to-eat” dining experience. The dining hall provides
a variety of menu items in a station style set-up for breakfast, lunch, and
dinner. Each conference will be assigned a specific block of time during the
dining hall’s regular operational hours, breakfast from 7:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.,
lunch from 11:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., and dinner from 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Special requests to extend the normal operation times will be presented to
Dining Services for consideration and approval.
Some food options are as follows, a create-your-own salad bar, sandwich bar,
pizza, pasta, desserts, and vegan/vegetarian options. Menus for each week are
posted on the following website, under Fresh Foods Company Menu:

Meal Plans
|
In selecting the best meal plan for your group, we have two options for your
conference attendees. Most groups use the Dining Card, which has the certain
number of Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner meals that you have ordered for your
guests through the Meal Guarantee form. The Dining Card also serves as the
access card for participants to get into their designated dorm.
For those individuals that might
be staying in a hotel or eating one or two meals on-campus, conference
sponsors will be allotted a certain number of paper meal tickets, specified
for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Conference Assistant will track the
number of cards you request. Conference sponsors may return any unused meal
tickets to their Conference Assistant, and will not be charged for any
unused cards.
