Negotiations approved for new food vendors
The Atrium cafeteria will be seeing new food vendors coming in as renovations on the space continue. Two of the vendors that the board has approved for the renovated area are Opa!, a Greek food vendor, and Chartwells, for a Denny’s Fresh Express. “We think that the brand recognition and the amount of foot traffic to the food court will be pretty substantial, so we think there’s a great advantage there,” said treasurer Kevin Zhang about the Denny’s Fresh Express. There will be one more vendor coming in which is yet to be determined.
Health Sciences representative takes leave of absence for the summer
Newly elected faculty representative Tracy Luong has requested a leave of absence for the summer semester. In a letter addressed to the board, she explained that she was offered an extension on her co-op work term during the campaign period. “I am committed to doing my part and contributing to the operations of the board as much as possible,” stated the letter. According to policy, board members are allowed only two months unpaid leave of absence. The board agreed to allow Luong standing regrets to excuse her from meetings in May and August, and a leave of absence for June and July.
