- DHW Extended Hours

- Pumpkin Carving Contest

- October Residential Calendar

Dining Hall West’s second full month of being open brought the highest participation UT Dallas has ever seen. Over 20,000 meals are served out of Dining Hall West each week, allowing for a constant flow of patrons throughout the day. The most challenging aspect to-date has been long lines forming at the front of the serving area; however that challenge is in the process of being solved with the introduction of stanchions and strategic placement of larger signs to adapt

traffic patterns.

The highlight of the month was the pumpkin carving contest which was held on Halloween. Over 30 pumpkins were submitted to the contest this year, which is more than triple of the submissions last year. Dining Hall West also changed hours to better fit the needs of students. The change extended Friday, Saturday and Sunday dinner hours by 30 minutes and also opened Sunday brunch 90 minutes earlier than before. The hours extension suggestion was made by food committee members based off of student feedback.

Jason’s Deli OpeningLate October brought the much anticipated opening of Jason’s Deli in the Jindal School of Management. Jason’s Deli had a soft opening on Saturday, October 25 with an official opening the following Monday. So far, Jason’s Deli is averaging about $3,000 in sales which is a great start for this brand new location. Assistant Retail Director Antoine Cooper will be over the location, and has past experience with Jason’s Deli. The Bookstore Coffee Shop &

Coffee Corner received a refresh

of the menu boards at their

locations. The new designs reflect

an updated look, are easier to read and

better aligned with the overall dining

program design standards.

“As a former Jason’s Deli employee, I’m familiar with managing their locations. The Jason’s Deli at UTD is the first Chartwells Jason’s Deli in the nation, so we’re very proud to set the standard for future campuses.” -Antoine Cooper, Assistant Retail Director

Based off of feedback from Student Government at the food committee meeting, The Pub introduced window art to announce limited time offers and events happening at The Pub. Oriana Lovera, the UT Dallas Dining graphic designer created and painted the design for the Bistro Beef sandwich on the windows. She also helped Student Government with their design for their Comet Chats event. The window art is an impactful approach to relay menu information out to the campus community in a fun way.

This month The Pub introduced a refreshed

beverage menu. The new design alligns with the new Pub food menu introduced

at the start of the semester.
