CAMPUS NEWS

Sliders Cafe Grand Opening at UConn Stamford!

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming soft opening of a new Café on campus, Sliders Café! Sliders will feature (you guessed it!) a core menu of gourmet crafted sliders, grab-and-go salads, wraps, and sandwiches along with an assortment of coffees and teas.

Sliders café soft opened Tuesday, February 20th at 8:00 am. For the first 2-4 weeks during our soft opening period, the hours of operation will be Monday-Friday 8:00 am-2:00 pm. Sliders Café will also be providing catering services on campus. For those students who are enrolled in the Local Eatery meal plan this location will likely not be available for next week, but will be available at this location very soon – please stay tuned!

Please join us in helping our Sliders Café partners to feel welcome in our community and do not hesitate to reach out to Aristide Ristau with any questions. A special thanks to our Campus Dean, Dr. Jennifer Orlikoff, who prioritized this effort after hearing feedback from our Students, Staff, and Faculty.
