Ever wish you could have breakfast at 10:10? Or a late night dinner after your first dinner? Now you can.
Roy Platt, Lipscomb Dining/Sodexo’s General Manager announced in chapel today and major change in how meals can be used on campus.
“You now have three meals a day that you can use anytime during the day,” said Platt.
Allen Arena erupted in cheers and applause from students.
“There are times late at night when I’m hungry and I want something to eat but I can’t because I’ve already had dinner,” said Jamin Craig, a freshman from Nashville. “So I really like [the change] if I didn’t eat breakfast or lunch that day.”
Some students found some humor in the change and feel it’s a welcome but incomplete one.
“I’m going to get all three meals at 8 a.m.,” said Sawyer Wallace, a junior bible and theater major from Alabama. “I think it’s a good change but I’m still paying $8.50 per meal for a $6 meal plan.”
Sodexo’s meal plans have been under scrutiny from students for some time, but this change has brought some welcome relief for some from restrictions placed on those plans from the beginning.
Will this be effective today? or is there a time period where we will still have to wait to use this new policy?
During the announcement yesterday in chapel, Mr. Platt stated the the new plan would be effective immediately.
