As part of our commitment to serving our students, Auxiliary Services established a break meal service as a part of your semester meal plan costs. This reduces the financial burden on you as you can plan for what your on-campus costs will be. We hope this helps you to stay when you need to, and perform research with our faculty without the stress of how you will eat.
