With the University’s transition to in-person classes on Feb. 7, campus dining halls have also returned to normal operations, opening in-person seating and self-serve options.
This isn’t to say that Cornell Dining is perfect. Yeah, sometimes it’s crowded, and it’s annoying when the food you were waiting for runs out and there isn’t any more left. However, having access to an abundance of food as a college student is a huge privilege. BestColleges also echoes that since “many college students struggle to cover basic needs,” how “those who lack family support are especially likely to struggle to afford food, and report eating less, eating less healthy, and going hungry.”
Cornell Dining will introduce a new dining hall, two new cafes and accessibility initiatives for a fall semester with fewer COVID restrictions.
Cornell was the first Ivy to be certified by the Marine Stewardship Council for serving sustainable seafood in 2012, and today campus dining halls continue to provide students with fresh fish and crustaceans on a regular basis.
Following almost a year of being closed, The Ivy Room will now be integrated into Okenshields.
