message from the executive director

I would like to personally welcome you to the award-winning Cal Dining

program. We are a self-operated, full-service dining operation for the Cal

community, including students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and guests. It is

a great honor and pleasure to serve you in our on-campus dining locations.

Our experience has taught us that a passion for serving — not feeding — our

customers is the key factor in our ability to grow continuously and provide

better service options on campus. I am proud of our recent accomplishments

and our ground-breaking organic, sustainable and green initiatives.

Dining is not solely about the food that is presented on the plate but the

total experience, from menu selection to location atmosphere through to

composting at meal’s end. We do everything possible to create a positive

and enjoyable dining experience.

I personally encourage and welcome your comments and suggestions. The

Cal Dining team thrives on feedback from our customers. I want students to

feel comfortable communicating directly with me and every Cal Dining staff

member. Send us an e-mail, fill out a comment card, or speak with any dining

location manager.

I look forward to seeing you on-campus. Go Bears!

Shawn LaPean, Executive Director of Cal Dining
