Too Cold or Too Busy to Leave the Office? HU Campus Dining Has You Covered

Hello, Pirate Nation Faculty, Staff, and Administration.

Even our Home by the Sea has its chilly days and when cooler temperatures meet full calendars, campus dining is here to make your workday a little easier (and warmer).

To make eating on campus easier, faster, and more convenient, we’re highlighting two flexible options available to the entire campus community — including faculty, staff, and administration:
