Zag Dining Uses Student Feedback to Enhance Campus Experience

At Gonzaga University, Zag Dining is making the student experience its top priority by tapping into valuable feedback from the Student Culinary Council. This dedicated group of students plays a crucial role in ensuring that dining services are responsive to the needs and preferences of their peers, fostering a meaningful partnership that directly impacts the campus dining experience.

The Student Culinary Council works alongside the Zag Dining team to design and implement programs that reflect the desires of the student body. From curated menu choices to themed events, every decision is influenced by direct student input, creating dining experiences that resonate with the Gonzaga community.

This fall semester, the focus is on Resident Dining, with the core student team guiding the development of new offerings that align with student tastes. Whether introducing diverse flavors, adding healthier options, or incorporating more plant-based meals, Zag Dining’s goal is to make campus dining more personalized and engaging for students.

“We are grateful for the collaboration, feedback, and student leadership that helps us continually improve the dining experience at Gonzaga,” says Patrick Clelland, District Manager. “It’s this level of engagement that allows us to create a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience for all students.”

Looking ahead, Zag Dining is eager to continue collaborating with the Student Culinary Council to roll out additional innovative dining programs throughout the fall semester. With students actively involved in shaping the process, the dining experience at Gonzaga will continue to evolve, providing both convenience and a sense of community.

For Gonzaga students, dining on campus goes beyond food—it’s about connecting with fellow students, enjoying a welcoming environment, and creating memorable experiences.
