The auxiliary services units on campus are: concessions & vending, dining services, Eaglecard Office, Eagle Trace Gold Course, Environmental Health & Safety, Laundry Services, University Bookstore, and University Postal Services.

The Greensboro Lunch Counter Sit-In was a civil rights event that occurred in 1960.

In the food court, you have a number of delectable options at your fingertips. But when it comes to food on college campuses that is a whole different story. It has been said that one of the deciding factors of choosing a college is seeing the food options and prices. Sure, there are some many more deciding factors such as price college dorm rooms the standard of teaching, the majors they offer Etc. But I think the one thing that gets overlooked even if it is a deciding factor is the food options on campus.

For Instance, inside Pearson there were many different styles, from casual to professional, clothing worn. Most classes do not require students to wear professional clothing to class. Thus, many students were wearing
Food plays an important role in our lives, especially in college. Food affects people financially, nutritionally, and educationally. The dining halls at Virginia State University are a major source of meals and food for students. Needless to say, it is important that those students can eat at these dining halls. The problem with this is that the cost of campus dining is way too expensive for the limited options we have.

One of the keys to being strong and healthy is a healthy and balanced diet, filled with a variety of foods. At Drexel, we are being deprived of this necessity. While we do have a dining hall that is open for most of our day, actually eating there is an issue.
While working at Watterson Dining commons, I have maintained an exemplary disciplinary record, and I have not received any write ups or infractions. While maintaining an exemplary disciplinary record, I have also maintained a great attendance record. Throughout working at the Watterson Dining Commons, I have only missed work twice, but I did have a sub and both times were due to factors beyond my control. As far as job performance I have improved since my last performance review, and I always done my best to help the customers get what they would like. A time that I went above and beyond my job was one day that I was called over to help close the dishroom, after the dishroom, I returned to help my normal venue close even when I could have left.
