welcome to the university of california, berkeley!Behind every action throughout our department,

the message is simple and powerful: STUDENTS FIRST!

LeNorman Strong, Associate Vice Chancellor of RSSP

Eddie L. Bankston, Assistant Vice Chancellor of Housing & Dining

message from the directorI would like to personally welcome you to the award-winning Cal Dining program. We are

a self-operated, full-service dining operation for the Cal community, including students,

faculty, staff, alumni, parents and guests. It is a great honor and pleasure to serve you in our

on-campus dining locations.

Our experience has taught us that a passion for serving – not feeding – our customers is the

key factor in our ability to grow continuously and provide better service options on campus.

I am proud of our recent accomplishments and our ground-breaking organic, sustainable and

green initiatives. Dining is not solely about the food that is presented on the plate but the

total experience, from menu selection to location atmosphere through to composting at

meal’s end. We do everything possible to create a positive and enjoyable dining experience.

I personally encourage and welcome your comments and suggestions. The Cal Dining team

thrives on feedback from our customers. I want students to feel comfortable communicating

directly with me and every Cal Dining staff member. Send us an e-mail, fill out a comment

card, or speak with any dining location manager.

I look forward to seeing you on-campus. Go Bears!

Shawn LaPean, Director of Cal Dining
