New meal plan dining options and more

September 2, 2026

The below message was sent to all undergrad, post-bac, and grad students on September 2, 2026.


Hello and welcome back! 

As you may have seen, we recently announced several new dining opportunities and options for students. 

Now that the semester is underway, we're sending this message to remind you again about two of our biggest changes that take effect this week.

Beginning today, Wednesday, Sept. 2, if you're on a meal plan, you'll be able to grab a breakfast sandwich or vegan burrito wrap, coffee or tea, and fruit at Uncommon Grounds from 7-8 a.m., Monday - Friday.

For students who find themselves on the South side of campus near the Park Science Center at lunch, dining services will be offering a Grab & Go station from 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m., Monday - Friday, which is also covered by the meal plan. Located on the 2nd floor of Park, it features a choice of a daily sandwich or salad, fruit, a protein bar, and water. 

We hope these grab-and-go options will help those of you who can't make it to the south end of campus during regular meal hours to get the food you need to do well in class, engage in research, practice with a team, or anything else you need to get done.

Also, starting Monday, Sept. 7, the Community Kitchen in the Wellness Center will have extended reservation hours. The kitchen will be available for advanced reservations via EMS from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days a week.

We made these changes in large part due to feedback and suggestions from students. Our goal is to do everything we can to deliver the best dining experience possible. If you have any questions or ideas about how we can continue to improve our service or the options we offer, email emeal@brynmawr.edu.

Sincerely,
