Retail Dining
Vending On Campus
Vending Services provides students, faculty and staff the ability to purchase snacks, coffee, soda, and other items at convenient locations on campus.
The University, by contract, allows authorized vendors to install vending machines providing food, beverages, and other items at convenient sites in residential halls, classroom areas, and administrative buildings. The food and beverage machines are located in groups to provide customers a better selection of products and ease of stocking and service.
