History of University Dining
UW-Stevens Point made the decision in 2008 to transition to self-operated dining after many decades of contracted food service on campus. In June 2009, University Dining (UD) was created as a department within the Division of Student Affairs, and we have been serving the campus community ever since. UD is self-supporting and receives no funding from the University, State, or Federal resources. UD is managed very much like a commercial restaurant operation. All expenses incurred, including the cost of food, wages and benefits, operating supplies, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and occupancy costs, must be covered by revenue generated across the dining locations on campus.
