I-House Dining Featured in Foodservice Director Magazine


We would like to share with you all a wonderful article written about International House Dining Services, published in the February 2020 issue of Food Service Director Magazine. Read the two-page article, When the World Comes to Dine (PDF file) featured on pages 48 -49.

We've set a standard around campus as students, faculty, and staff from other facilities are frequently spotted in our Dining Commons. Congratulations to the entire Dining Services team!
