Meal Plan Selection – Spring 2012
If you are planning to return to George Fox next semester, please pay special attention to this message about meal plans for the spring 2012 semester.
Starting Jan. 1, 2012, students, who are eligible to do so may change their meal plans in their MyGFU account. (Yes, this is a change from the original message.)
Detailed information about meal plans can be found at this website.
Student Life suggests that EVERYONE confirm their meal plan to be certain that you have the meal plan that you are expecting.
You can change your meal plan and confirm which meal plan you have in your MyGFU account – STUDENT RESOURCES – UNIVERSITY FORMS.
The 21, 14, 10, 10 +Flex, 7 and No Meal Plan all roll over from the fall to the spring semesters.
The 35 Block and the All Flex Plan do NOT roll over. These convert to the No Meal Plan. If you want to renew the All Flex or 35 Block Plan you must add these meal plans to your account in MyGFU.
Please Note: All changes must be processed no later than Friday, Jan. 20, 2012. However, students can always add a meal plan through out the semester by contacting Jere Witherspoon in the student life office.
Accommodations to the meal plan are provided only through documented medical conditions.
All questions about the meal plans should be directed to Jere Witherspoon.
And now, an essay about the meal plan benefits by Dave Johnstone, associate dean of residence life:
The best part of a meal plan has nothing to do with the quality or nutrition of the food. The attractive part of eating on a meal plan is the opportunity to frequently connect with peers and classmates. Sharing a meal, conversation around the table, debriefing the day or anticipating what might unfold is really the gem of being on a meal plan. Historically and culturally communities have been built around food. I am not sure why it works, but sharing a meal is one of most significant ways to build a relationship, hence it strengthens our community. That in itself is a major benefit for being on the meal plan.
