I will like to talk about how dining service will affect the students' dining experiences with the “new normal” where in phase one will be restricted, phase 2 will be a little more relaxed but restricted and phase 3 will define what the new normal will look like. We, in dining service will like to send out a very strong message to create conscience in how different things will look in dining service when students come back where “self-service” will not be available, where sitting with friends will be restricted, where “social distance” will slow things down and where ordering online will become the most effective way to get food. We also need to create a culture of respecting the others taking care of yourself to avoid in all possible ways to go back to the numbers of contagious people affected by the coronavirus. Is up to all of us to get to the new normal as soon as we all can.
