Return to Dining Services

In addition to providing meals throughout the week, our Dining Services team works in conjunction with various other University Departments to host extraordinarily special events for our faculty, staff, students, and University guests. From Student Dessert Receptions at the President's House to CNU Football Tailgates, our team takes special pride in making sure every event is an exceptional experience.

Some of Our Special Events

Admitted Freshman Picnic

To welcome our newest students, Dining Services works with the Admissions Office to provide a fun and exciting picnic for over 1500 guests every Spring. New students have the opportunity to meet other students, faculty, and staff while enjoying BBQ sandwiches, veggie or hamburgers, brownies, and cold drinks.

Student Dessert Receptions

These receptions are an unique opportunity for students to meet our University's President, the honorable Paul S. Trible Jr., and his wife Rosemary. Students are treated to an elegant evening with the President while enjoying some decadent desserts such as the ever- popular chocolate fountain.

Faculty/Staff Appreciation Picnic

In perfect harmony with the Biology Department, Dining Services hosts an annual faculty/staff picnic to give something back to all those who help make this University such a great place to work and learn. Staff members and their families are encouraged to come out and enjoy some freshly baked cooked pork BBQ sandwiches under the sun with friends and coworkers.
