Trending Across Campus: September Specials

Guerrieri Academic Commons, Chesapeake Bay Roasting Company

    •  

      Caramel apples are delicious and so is chai. Smooth and rich, the sweet scent of cinnamon is combined with a hint of apple and the delectable taste of caramel, creating a blend that will warm you right to the core. Be it hot or cold this barista created drink is sure to satisfy both cravings. Try something new rather than the same seasonal redo. 

     

    Guerrieri Academic Commons, Hungry Minds

    • Say it with us ... tur-bac-aroni – it's like a taste of Thanksgiving before Thanksgiving. We've taken our oven roasted turkey hoagie and topped it off with spplewood smoked bacon and our macaroni and cheese. It's the perfect lunch or dinner for these cooler days – crunchy and creamy all at once.

     

    Guerrieri Student Union, Cool Beans

    • Our signature espresso, steamed milk and rich caramel brulée sauce finished with whipped cream and a supreme topping of even more caramel brulée bits. Point blank ... you can't beat a classic.

    Bites from the Dietician

    College years are fun and exciting. With the demands on your time – between classes, friends, studying, clubs and sports – it seems there are just not enough hours in the day. More often than not, sleep is what gets compromised. Once you're run down, stress and anxiety can come in and keep you from a good night's rest when you finally lay your head on your pillow.

     

    Sleep is imperative to restoring energy and focus and maintaining immune health and memory. Less sleep has been associated with lower grades and decreased academic performance.

     

    Read more about the importance of sleep and how to get the best night's rest.
