Freshmen on Penn’s campus have had a difficult time adjusting to the dining schedule. In college, students stay up later and schedule their meals around their academic work. It is difficult for students to eat their dinner at seven o’clock when they will be staying up until one in the morning. Athletes and students with late classes and jobs find themselves without a sit-down dinner covered by their dining plan. I will work to promote more accessibility and visibility to the dining schedule so that students can plan their meals a bit in advance. In all honesty, this is not enough. I cannot stress more the value of a full meal. Smaller projects that I hope to tackle on the UA include extending the sign-in time for students who are non-residents of our college halls, and installing ice machines and fans in college hall common rooms. Thank you.
