• Meal Accommodations During Ramadan! The Council for Faith and Life has been working with dining services to make the following options possible:
  • Impacted students can exchange caf swipes for dining dollars, which can be used in the evenings to purchase food at Marty's. This is a $17 exchange, so dining services is hopeful that this will be a sufficient dollar amount to provide adequate dinner food. Students would work directly with dining services to make this exchange a week at a time.
  • Marty's is back to a full menu, so there are a reasonable variety of options; however, martys is currently closed Friday and Saturday evenings.
  • The CFAL is partnering with community organizations, student organizations, and area congregations to provide meals for these evenings. These dinner meals will be served at the tables outside Oneota Market in the Union.
  • If there is a need and desire, dining services can also help provide breakfast items.
  • Students who are interested in any/all of the above options -- dining dollar exchange, Friday/Saturday dinners, and/or breakfast should fill out this Google Form.
