Welcome (Back)!

It’s great to see the campus percolating once again! We had a busy summer – you’ll actually taste some of the fruits of our labor, but other efforts were directed at giving you a more pleasant and convenient dining experience.
So what’s new? This week Harvard launched a new app for mobile users. It connects you to numerous University resources, including:

• a map that pinpoints, among other options, campus dining locations (residential and retail)
• a daily menu and hours of operation for undergraduate dining halls.

Learn more at the Harvard Gazette.

We’ve also changed our website to make it easier for you, the user, to find important resources. Instead of looking at our services from our perspective, we’ve tried to present, in simple “user” pages, the information you most commonly use (or should know about) – whether you’re an undergrad, administrator, parent, or other key member of our community.

What else is new? Our name. We are now Harvard University Hospitality & Dining Services. Our mission is to create both great food and experiences that foster friendship, encourage learning, and cultivate community, and our name has evolved to reflect that broader role. So it sounds the same when you pronounce it, it feels the same when you enjoy it, but now we’re HUHDS instead of HUDS.

So once again, welcome back! We’re thrilled to see you, and look forward to a continued dialogue with you – online and in person – about what we can do to make your Harvard dining experience particularly satisfying.
