Purpose
The Campus Food Services Advisory Committee provides input to Housing and Ancillary Services on matters pertaining to the delivery of food services at Queen's, including residence meal plans and the retail services options available on campus. Attending members have a passion for food and a keen interest in collaborative discussions related to campus food operations.
This includes but is not limited to: the sale of food, including items such as quality, quantity, type of food, adaptability, responsiveness to changing preferences and lifestyles of students, faculty, and staff, manner of service, pricing, budget, operations and hours of service. Areas of discussion may include:
- Policies and services, customer service, and student engagement
- Budgetary priorities for the department and an annual consultation on retail prices
- Consideration and sharing of ideas on food service delivery, promotions, and facility projects
- Support and engagement of student government (AMS and ResSoc) in operational practices
- As an overarching philosophy, consideration of sustainability and I-EDIAA priorities with respect to all recommendations and decisions
The committee may review specific matters referred to it by the Residence Advisory Committee.
The Campus Food Services Advisory Committee typically meets six times per academic year. (September, October, November and January, February, and March)
