Does dining services serve the same food daily?
No way. A food management system is used to plan our daily offerings in the Wismer Dining Hall to
ensure we offer menu variety. We also offer specials to coincide with the seasons and holidays. Zack’s
Food Court offers an a la carte menu for each concept with a variety of menu offerings and seasonal
specials.
If I am sick and cannot come to the Dining Hall for a meal, can I have a roommate or
friend pick something up for me?
Yes. We have a “sick tray” program; details can be found http://foodservices.ursinus.edu/nutrition.html.
Before your friend can pick up your meal, you must fill out the sick tray form located at the top of the
Nutrition page of our website.
