At Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, student engagement with the dining program has never been better thanks to the team’s student led, student fed initiative. Launched a couple years ago, the program enables student groups across campus to work with dining services to host their own events, voice their feedback and more. 

The program has resulted in numerous ways for students to leave their mark on the dining program. Last year, for example, the team worked with Black Student Services to create a special menu in honor of Black History Month. 

On our latest episode of Onsite with FSD, we sat down with LMU Dining Resident District Manager Kyle Suerth who shared how the program came to be, how it works and what the dining team has in store for it this school year.
