Montclair State Dining Services is listening to our campus community and we want you to know that we hear you! We are working hard to continuously improve and maintain our commitment to our students, faculty, staff and guests to provide the highest standards of service. Our team of culinarians and associates care deeply about serving safe, healthy meals and strive to ensure that every menu item meets the highest quality standards.

Student Town Hall Meeting

We have scheduled a Student Town Hall Meeting on Tuesday, November 16, 3 p.m., to gather your feedback in regards to dining service operations, menu variety, customer service and food quality. The goal of this open forum is to address your questions directly and we encourage you to register to attend.

Student Advisory Board

We are working to develop a Dining Services Student Advisory Board comprised of cross institutional diverse and inclusive representation including students, faculty and staff. Our goal is to have our first meeting prior to the end of this semester. If you are interested in joining, please contact Lindsey Anderson at andersonlin@montclair.edu.
