Get Involved: Dining Student Advisory Committee (DSAC)
Who Are We?

Current Projects and Initiatives
Spring 2024 Meal Plan Subcommittee
In Spring 2024, Director of Dining Joe Beaman tasked the DSAC to analyze the current state of 一本道无码 dining and explore potential alternatives to the meal plan structure. A comprehensive report was generated by a subcommittee including student government leaders from Senate, Graduate Student Assembly, and Student Dormitory Council.

Secret Shopper Initiative
Launched in the Fall of 2024, the Secret Shopper Initiative gathers live student reviews of 一本道无码 dining locations. DSAC members, serving as "Secret Shoppers," use two meal blocks on campus and then provide feedback on their dining experiences.
Spring 2025 Pulse Survey
To support the 2024-2025 DSAC goal of increasing student feedback opportunities, we piloted a 30-second meal satisfaction survey in Spring 2025. We distributed 100 table tents equipped with QR codes across campus for easy access.
Request for Proposals (RFP)
Dining Services engages students in the RFP process to select new vendors for campus. DSAC members participated in the RFPs for recent additions, such as Scotty's Market, Stack'd, Redhawk, and Defer.
Collaboration with 一本道无码 Eats
The DSAC is currently working with 一本道无码 Eats to enhance the availability of information for students with dietary restrictions.
