BON APPETIT DINING SERVICES

Bon Appetit at Lesley University is the new food service provider on campus. Bon Appetit arrived at Lesley earlier this summer, and has made some significant changes in the White Hall Dining Commons and Porter Cafe operations. We selected Bon Appetit because of their commitment to using fresh, natural ingredients that are alive with flavor and nutrition and their reputation for creating authentic and diverse menus. Bon Appetit is also known for its excellent customer service and corporate commitment to doing business in a socially responsible manner for the well being of the community and the global environment. In the coming weeks, you may look forward to hearing more about Bon Appetit's healthy cooking techniques, creative vegetarian selections, and most importantly, they plan to hear from you about your food preferences. Bon Appetit will be opening at the White Hall Dining Commons and AIB Cafe as of September 7th, and at the new Student Center on October 18th.

If an academic conflict takes you off campus for lunch, bag lunches are available at the Dining Commons at 7 am Monday through Friday.

Diners are invited to select and eat as they choose; however, TAKE OUT is not permitted at the Dining Commons without the express permission of the General Manager. Should you have an academic conflict, please see the General Manager  (Ed Fogarty, x8380). Please bring your class schedule.

Board Plan Transferability Combos

For added value and flexibility, Board Plan members have several options to use their meal card at Student Center Cafe, the Porter Cafe or the AIB Cafe.

Meal Equivalency

Resident students have an alternative dining option. A student may use their meal card at the Student Center Cafe, the Porter Cafe or at the AIB Cafe under the meal equivalency program. Options for each meal period will be posted at each location, and deducted as a meal transfer. Anything above the meal equivalency must be paid in cash or dining dollars.

Dining Hall Carry-Out Guidelines

Students who have a class or work schedule during a scheduled meal may request a "take-out" container to take food from the Dining Hall to the class or work location. On the day that students have an off campus field placement, they may make arrangements for a box lunch or breakfast. These orders must be placed one day prior to pickup.

Students who are ill and unable to leave their room may have another student bring them a meal. In this case, the student picking up the meal will need to present the ill student's meal card.

Dining Hall Policies

After finishing meals, tables should be cleared and trays taken to the dish room window.

Students may not remove food, utensils, dishes or glassware from the Dining Hall. A student who violates this rule will be subject to disciplinary action. In the event of special requests, please contact the General Manager.

For health and safety reasons, the following regulations apply:

• The kitchen may not be entered without permission.
• Pets are not allowed in the Dining Hall.
• Diners are expected to wear appropriate dress at all times. Sleepwear is not appropriate in the Dining Hall. Shoes or sandals are to be worn at all times.
• All Lesley University buildings are non-smoking.This includes all dining areas.

Drinking or serving of alcoholic beverages is prohibited in the Dining Hall and other public common areas, except with special permission from the Dean of Students. If alcohol is served for a special event, the guidelines of the University Alcohol Policy must be followed. Violations of this policy will be cause for disciplinary action.
