Return of the Food Trucks: Now Serving on Tuesdays and Thursdays

Summary

By Mark Kramer

Waffles from Waffle Bus

Students, faculty and staff are returning to campus following the fall soft opening … and another part of our University Community is also coming back — food trucks.

The mobile eateries, located adjacent to the north entrance of the College of Sciences & Technology Building, began serving the UHD Community after more than a year away from campus during the COVID-19 pandemic.

From 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, a rotation of food trucks is offering campus community members convenient lunchtime selections. A schedule of food trucks is available on the UHD Dining Services website.

Students, faculty and staff may pay for the food truck meals by cash or credit/debit card.

The featured vendors encourage the UHD Community to follow and tag them using the social media handles below. Likewise, faculty, staff and students can view menus and other information on these respective social media pages

“We are hoping for more traffic now that the soft opening of campus has ended,” said Mary Torres, Director of University Business Services. “The more interest the students, faculty and staff have in the program and the more business we create for the food trucks, the better chances that they will want to continue for the remainder of the semester and in the spring.”
