With our Bruin Preview guests on campus today (Friday) it will get very crowded in the dining room during breakfast and lunch. Overflow seating will be available in the Cap and Gown Room for both meals.

We are expecting our guests to come in for breakfast at approximately 8 a.m., so those of you who normally join us for breakfast may want to try and come either before 8 a.m. or after 8:30 a.m. to avoid long lines. Also, with the large number of guests for lunch we will be serving on paper, so you may take your food out of the dining room if you prefer.
