All About Val
Valentine Dining Hall, well known throughout the college as “Val”, is the gathering place of our campus community. Our mission in Val and dining services as a whole is to provide our students an exceptional dining experience with a commitment to fresh, and sustainable food. At Val, students enjoy breakfasts, lunch, and dinners crafted from fresh and sustainable ingredients.
Our menus are globally diverse, offering the best of the seasons while nourishing a variety of tastes and dietary needs. The inclusive meal plan offers students unlimited use of Val services during the hours of operation.
If you have any suggestions, special requests or specific dietary needs, please feel free to come by the main office between 8:30 am and 4:00 pm Monday through Friday or call ext. 2220 to make an appointment. The Department of Dining Services Main Office is located on the lower level of Valentine Hall. Filling out an online suggestion box, or leaving a comment card in Val are both great forums to voice your thoughts and needs.
