If you work at an institution that offers meal plans, you know that no one plan satisfies all of your students. Whether you offer an all-you-care-to-eat plan, a declining balance plan, or a set number of meals, there are pros and cons to all. The incoming population is comprised of global, social, visual, and technological students, and their generational placement directly impacts their presence and influence in our dining and residence halls. Join us for this three-part series as we dive into the current population, the impact of a shared dining experience, and how the selection of a meal plan impacts community development.
