Dinner on the Town – or on Campus

We’ve listened to your feedback and made Saturday evening’s events entirely flexible. Gather with your classmates, friends, or teammates and continue the celebration locally. If you’d like to celebrate on your own, check out our list of restaurants.

Or, looking for a trip down memory lane, have dinner in the Commons with the students. It’s still all you can eat—with a new dining service offering a variety of delicious dishes. And if you graduated a while ago, you won’t believe your eyes when you enter the Commons.

Friendly tip: the entrance is now on the second floor (just follow the signs).
$14.95 per person (payment on site).
