Dine with Faculty

Dine with Faculty

Our Dine with Faculty program allows student dining plan holders the opportunity to take Virginia Tech faculty members out to eat on us. This is an opportunity for students to meet with faculty in a casual setting to discuss mutual interests and enhance the overall educational experience.

Dine with Faculty enables a faculty member to accompany a student to one meal per month.

• At our all-you-care-to-eat dining centers, D2 and Shultz (dinner only at Shultz), the faculty member's meal would be free of charge.
• At Owens Food Court or Shultz Express, the meal would consist of a credit of up to $6.90 toward the total purchase.

In order to use the meal at these dining centers, the faculty member must:

• Be accompanied by a student dining plan holder
• Have a faculty/staff Hokie Passport I.D. card for our cashier to swipe at the register
• Indicate to the cashier that he or she is participating in the Dine with Faculty Program

Students are encouraged to initiate the invitation with faculty members and utilize this opportunity as a way to meet with their professors one-on-one, outside of the classroom.

Job interviews often occur in offices and conference rooms, but they can also take place during a meal. How you present yourself in this type of social setting may make or break an employer's decision to hire you. What do your table manners say about you? Don't be caught using the wrong fork, wearing your soup, or even worse, double-dipping!
