In order to better understand the raw data, HUDS decided to go directly to the source--students. Enticing students with a reward of $25 in Crimson Cash, they convened a focus group last Wednesday.
The meeting was broken into three 30-minute discussion sections-- appearance of the serving and dining areas, appearance and taste of food and the the availability of food. The students presented complaints to McGahey and Quincy House Dining Hall Manager Mark Petrino as Assistant Director of Marketing & Communications Alix McNitt took 16 and a half pages of notes on a giant easel.
And Tuttle says things have already begun to change.
"I think the meeting went really well," Tuttle says. "Since then
there's been rye bread when I went to make a sandwich."
And the students of Quincy hope the bread selection is only the beginning.
