Interactive learning lab feeds Ole Miss campus and community<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hungry campus and community members can visit the Lenoir Dining<\/strong> interactive learning lab, a student-run restaurant in Lenoir Hall<\/strong> at the University of Mississippi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving lunch at 11:30 am and 12:30 pm Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays during the fall and spring semesters, this full-service restaurant offers a three-course meal, complete with bread and a drink, for $12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The menu changes weekly, so students have an opportunity to not only rotate through all stations of a full-service restaurant, but also gain exposure to changing menus and food. In the past, menus have ranged from sustainable, locally sourced meats and vegetables to Korean <\/strong>barbecue and Cajun <\/strong>comfort food. Each menu also includes a vegetarian option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“My favorite meal is the shrimp and grits, hands, down,” said Kelley Jenkins<\/strong>, assistant to the dean of the School of Applied Sciences<\/strong> and a regular Lenoir Dining patron. “If it’s on the menu, it is definitely what I will be getting.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diners can visit the program’s website, view menus and make a reservation for lunch at https:\/\/nhm.olemiss.edu\/welcome-to-lenoir-dining\/lenoir-dining\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Off-campus guests are welcome. Gift certificates to Lenoir Dining are also available, and many departments purchase them to award to faculty, staff and students throughout the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We have the ability to rent the entire dining room for lunch meetings or recruiting lunches serving up to 40 people,” said Dru Jones<\/strong>, chef instructor and food specialist. “We also offer private lunch dining for more formal departmental meetings with seating of up to 12 guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Private dining options are available daily, Monday through Friday. We enjoy working with you to meet the needs of your functions, departmental faculty-staff meetings or celebrations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experiential learning experience is not complete without patrons. As an extension of teaching, this interactive learning lab includes a feedback comment card at the end of each meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
