Chartwells, NSU’s food service, has made several changes to the Don Taft University Center food court to increase its appeal for students, based on their feedback.
The most talked about change is JuiceBlendz. It has been refreshed and expanded to offer more variety including salads, sandwiches and wraps.
Alec Mayo, sophomore biology major, said that it’s great that NSU made this change because the more food options, the better.
“I really like the new wrap options and the fact that Juiceblendz uses Boar’s Head deli meat,” he said. “It’s now easier to eat healthily on campus.”
Outtakes has also enhanced its variety by including a dispensing unit, known as “Student Grub,” which includes trail mixes, gummy bears, Sour Patch Kids, chocolate covered pretzels and more.
Flight Deck has added its most requested food item, tater tots, to its menu. There has also been increased student request for Halal food, which is now offered in the C-store.
Shark Dining will also begin hosting legacy events throughout the semester.
Shark Dining Resident District Manager Jason Fitch said the legacy events are staged as monotony breakers for students to help add variety, excitement and engagement throughout the university community.
“With legacy events, there is one charge, and customers receive a wrist band which entitles them to an all you care to eat environment for that meal period at the designation stations,” he said.
Fitch said the campus dining program will continue to make enhancements throughout the year to accommodate the needs of the students.
“We look forward to hosting many more of these events, and student feedback is always welcomed for suggestions on the themed legacy events they would like to see in the future,” he said.
Most updates for Shark Dining are posted on its social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Fitch encourages students interested in specific food options to visit dineoncampus.com/nova and click the “Be Heard” tab. Also, any student who is interested in certain Halal entrees should contact Fitch directly at Jason.Fitch@compass-usa.com.
