Event planners must submit a completed Event and Activity Form to the Health & Safety Office for approval before Catering Services can book a room or event request.

It’s a new protocol to ensure the safety of patrons, says Ligia Arias, manager of catering and conference services.

“We’re committed to providing the campus community and beyond with the highest standard of service and cuisine to ensure a perfect guest experience,” she says. “In the new environment, that includes putting safety first.”

Other changes implemented by catering staff this year include a COVID Menu featuring individually packaged items, such as breakfast boxes and a new variety of hot lunches.
