Serving up smiles, stress-free fun

Over 650 students descended on Capitol Eatery in Dauphin Hall last week to partake in a favorite Penn College campus tradition – Midnight Breakfast. Fueling the body before finals week, the free event offered pancakes and ice cream with toppings such as chocolate syrup, cherries, sprinkles and more. Serving up the food and fun were several members of the college’s leadership staff, including representatives from the President’s Office, Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Campus Police, Residence Life and Dining Services. Students also took a few minutes to relax in a bank of massage chairs and indulge in cuddles with the college’s “celebrity” golden retrievers – therapy dogs Winnie and Indy.

Prior to Midnight Breakfast, Dining Services hosted a Beach Party to kick off the countdown the finals. Roasted pig, jerk chicken, foot-long hot dogs, crab fries and pineapple dole whip were just a few items on the menu at Capitol Eatery, which was decked out in a beachy décor.

In the days leading up to finals, Capitol Eatery offered other tasty delights where students could get creative with making their own bubble tea drinks, s’mores nachos, banana splits, granola snack boxes and root beer floats. During finals week, free study-break treats have been available, such as donuts and coffee, milk and cookies, pizza and soda, and dessert nachos.

Navigating finals never tasted so good!
