On-Campus Sporting Events
USI campus dining changes
Fiesta Fuego and Cyclone Salads have closed and will remain closed for the remainder of the Spring Semester. With a consistent reduction in participation, the decision was made to move employees where most business is to better serve students, faculty and staff.
Sushi has been added to Sub Connection and The Loft and is also offered through Grubhub at Sub Connection. Sushi is not considered an entrée for the meal plan. It can be purchased with Munch Money, Flex Money and credit card.
The Loft will feature some Fiesta Fuego type selections on Tuesdays and Thursdays and can be found at the wrap station. The wraps will be at the dessert station on these days.
