By Claire Tully | Campus Writer | April 5

Trey Fields, executive vice president of initiatives, addressed SGA senate on April 4 to seek senators’ input on the possibility of new additions to Tiger Dining with options such as Einstein’s Bagels and Panera Bread. In planning the dining options for the Mell Street classroom, the university considered Einstein’s Bagels upon students’ requests before being approached by Panera Bread, according to Fields. “Recently, Glenn Loughridge, who’s the director of dining for the university...he was approached by Panera Bread to be on the campus in some form, so that’s kind of a dynamic option.” Fields said. Fields said while it would be natural to consider Panera for the Mell Street dining, he is concerned about taking students’ wishes into consideration. “So, a problem with that in our eyes is...that Einstein’s was voted on by the student body and overwhelmingly picked that,” Fields said.
