We're going to be looking at verses four through nine in 2 Peter chapter two. Let's begin reading together at verse four I'll read to verse nine We'll get into our study and I chose to entitle it the Lord knows how to deliver beginning at verse four For if God did not spare the angels who sinned but cast them down to hell Deliver them into chains of darkness to be reserved for judgment And did not spare the ancient world but saved Noah one of eight people a preacher of righteousness Bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes Condemned them to destruction making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly and delivered righteous lot Who was oppressed with the filthy conduct of the wicked? For that righteous man dwelling among them tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds Then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and How to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment? Now as we've been looking at 2nd Peter remind yourself with me that verses one through three were a portion of his letter where he Begins to warn the church against the infiltration of false teachers He had made it very clear that they would infiltrate and they would bring in destructive error into the church and This destructive error that the false teachers were bringing in that would undermine the gospel related to things like the cross of Jesus Christ and its significance and and they began to influence many people and they caused the gospel to come into Disrepute to be to be ridiculed He says in verse 2 by them the way of truth will be blaspheme that word blaspheme means to be reviled or to be spoken against to be railed against You see Jesus is the way the truth in the life and Because he is the way the truth in it and the life his teachings are called the way of truth and These teachings the way of truth are intended to to transform lives When somebody not only hears the way of truth, but believes and begins to act upon those things that Jesus taught in 3rd John in verse 3 John said I rejoice greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you just as you walk in the truth So it's not a matter of just receiving it. It's a matter receiving believing and acting upon that transforms your life And so Jesus being the one who gives to us the truth because he is the truth There's going to have those who introduce error in order that they might undermine his gospel message in our life and destroy the way that we live Well, he said in verse 3 that they're not going to get away with this because he says their judgment has not been idle Just because God had not moved to judge them does not mean that he's not going to move and that he's not going to judge in Romans chapter 2 verses 5 and 6 from the new living translation We read but because you are stubborn and refused to turn from your sin You are storing up terrible punishment for yourself For a day of anger is coming when God's righteous judgment will be revealed He will judge everyone according to what they have done and So they're going to receive the wages of their sin their judgment. He is saying is sure Now to develop this he's now pointing out that scripture contains three examples of God bringing judgment He refers to God judging angels God judging the ancient world and then he speaks of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, we'll look at those things one at a time some a little bit more than others the first Notice with me. He speaks in verse 4. God did not spare the angels who sinned. He cast them down to hell And so he begins to speak concerning the divine judgment that fell upon fallen angels He's saying if God judged angels he most certainly will judge sinful man and he mentions these angels these angels He refers to as those who sinned He doesn't identify them for us, but they're undoubtedly the same angels that are mentioned in the book of Jude verse 6 These are angels who did not keep their first estate. These are angels who? Rebelled and were ultimately placed into a holding tank if you will they're reserved right now for judgment These are terrible angels that fell with with Lucifer when he rebelled against God and Five times said I will Meaning that he was taking his will and usurping the authority and will of God and as a result of that he was cast out of heaven and he is now referred to as the slanderer devil He's the adversary. He's Satan He has influenced angels and there are angels who've been influenced by him that that Peter and Jude referred to Who are being held in a holding cell if you will he said he cast them down to hell and delivered them to chains of darkness to Be reserved for judgment and so they're in a temporary holding cell But ultimately they'll be placed in the final judgment. It's what he's saying and he's saying that these mighty angels Were dealt with by a mighty God and that God's judgment is for sure if he judges angels he'll judge the false teachers Now this judgment is when both the angels and even men will receive their eternal doom in Revelation chapter 20 verse 10 It says the devil who deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone Where the beast and the false prophet are they will be tormented day and night forever and ever He goes on in verse 15 of Revelation 20 to say and anyone not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire And so this judgment is sure it came upon the angels They're being reserved right now, but they ultimately will be placed into their final doom their final destiny Not only will they be there with the beast and and and and the false prophet, but they will also be there with Satan They will be there with all who reject the Lord God. It's a place that is called the lake of fire So one he's saying God's judgment is sure on fallen angels But two he gives a second example of certain judgment and that is the example of what was called the great flood Now notice in verse 5 he says and did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah One of eight people a preacher of righteousness bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly So one God's judgment is sure because he judges angels But two God also judges man judges the ungodly He uses the example of the great flood that occurred during the time of Noah And I want you to notice that he speaks of the eight who were saved that would be Noah That would be mrs. Noah That would be the sons of Noah shem ham and japheth and it would be their three wives And that's why he gives the number eight because he's including the family of Noah And these people were protected By God when he brought judgment on the world Now why did God bring judgment on the world? Genesis chapter 6 tells us in the old testament book of Genesis Genesis chapter 6 informs us that the world had become wicked that word wicked there is also translated perverted or perverse Terribly evil corrupt and had become violent In Genesis chapter 6 verses 5 and 6 it says the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth And that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually The Lord was sorry that he had made man on earth And he was grieved in his heart In verses 11 through 13 it says the earth was also corrupt before God the earth was filled with violence So God looked upon the earth and indeed it was corrupt for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth God said to Noah the end of all flesh has come before me for the earth is filled with violence through them and behold I will destroy them with the earth It's wicked. It's evil It's corrupt and it is violent and God says I will bring judgment on the earth When you look at the conditions of the earth then you can see similarities in even our days and I'll point that in just a moment But in the midst of all of that God saved Noah Because according to Genesis chapter 6 verse 8 Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord That's the first time the word grace is found in your bible It's when Noah found grace in the eyes of God He was in the midst of an evil generation But in the midst of the evil of that generation he was saved by the grace of God And Though it was wicked though it was violent though it was corrupt though the thoughts and intents of the human heart Were only wicked continually There was a man in the midst of all of that who walked with God A man who found grace in the sight of the Lord Name was Noah Jesus spoke concerning that because he was saying that Even as in the days of Noah so it would be just before he returns In Matthew 24 37 through 39 it says as the days of Noah were so also We will be the coming of the son of man for as in the days before the flood They were eating drinking Marrying giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the ark and did not know until the flood came and took them all away So also will be the coming of the son of man be You see like Noah we are also by grace preserved by the Lord in the evil day that we live in In 1st Thessalonians 5 9 it says God didn't appoint us to wrath but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus christ Noah lived in a very extremely corrupt time But he's referred to and i want you to see this He's referred to as being a preacher of righteousness a preacher of righteousness That has to be spoken up for just a moment because a lot of people today don't understand what that really means even people in church Don't understand what it means That somebody actually is a preacher of righteousness. He's a preacher who speaks concerning the righteousness that is of God And a preacher who is speaking concerning how a man or a woman may become righteous to stand before God So that they don't enter into judgment And Noah was what is referred to is as as a preacher of righteousness He spoke what God had given to him to speak And he did it because that's what preaching of righteousness really is God has called us as ministers of the gospel To be willing to stand up and be counted for what we believe Now it's not just that we give our opinions Because a lot of people will say that oh you're giving your opinion I remember in our very I believe it was our second second Christmas May have been our first Christmas. It was first Christmas service that we had was actually at a house And then we had a Christmas day service in a church building, but I remember reading through the Christmas story Sharing some things and relating some things To just living for Christ and and and how we can do that and At the end of that service Somebody who had been invited by a friend approached me and Took issue with me and got upset thought that I was pointing some things out about her personal faith She was under conviction. She just didn't realize it. So she just got angry at me You know, she's going to shoot the messenger And so I remember when she approached me and began to speak to me About it. I said no, this is what it says And this is what the bible says and and she said to me something to the effect of well That's your opinion You have opinions and I have opinion And I smiled at her And I said and she said and our opinions are equal and I said that's where you're wrong I said your opinion is unequal to mine Because you don't even pick up the bible to read it as a hobby I study it and I teach it and I've been doing it for years. So for you to equate your opinion with mine Is incorrect what you have is an opinion what I have is a well-reasoned answer And there's a difference between the two But today in our society, this is 31 years ago today in our society people still think like that and even more So today people who never pick up the bible will argue with you about what it means and what it says and and how to understand it People who've never read a bible verse and wouldn't know a bible verse from a poetry You know versus a poetry will argue with you people will say things like well, god helps those who help themselves It's got to be somewhere in the bible, isn't it because they really don't understand And so you ask who's the strongest person in the bible and they'll say hercules and you'll say no I'm sorry. He's not found in the bible And so this does happen, you know, this does occur Where people will argue and see and they argued during the time of Noah Noah was a preacher of righteousness He was saying to the world it is corrupt. It is evil. It is perverse. It is doomed for destruction He didn't say it because that came out of his own heart He said that because he's a preacher of righteousness. He spoke the words that god gave for him to speak The prophet Jeremiah in chapter one verse nine It says the the the lord put forth his hand and touched my mouth and the lord said to me behold I have put my words in your mouth And that speaks of being a preacher of righteousness. It's not that he gives his own opinion He's giving well founded words that came from god himself And and that's what noah would do. Noah spoke forth the word of god the mind of god to the people That they might repent and turn and be saved. He preached judgment And he preached judgment. That was to come though. Nobody listened In genesis chapter six verse three. It says the lord said My spirit shall not always strive with man for that. He also is flesh yet his day shall be 120 years I'm giving you 120 years a mend your ways 120 years Noah preached righteousness and in the end the only ones who were saved was his family His wife his sons and daughters-in-law They were the only ones who entered into the ark when god closed the door and nobody else could enter in And judgment came god destroyed the earth with the judgment of the flood This is a man who lived a life of a witness a witness against the immorality of the day He remained faithful in the midst of it It says in Hebrews 11 7 by faith noah being divinely warned of things not yet to be seen Moved with godly fear prepared an ark for the saving of his household by which he condemned the world And became heir of the righteousness, which is according to faith So as noah was moved through faith and fear even so should we too to the saving of others See the point he's making is if god didn't spare the ancient world in the days of noah How much less could he be expected to spare the false teachers in peters day or even in our day? So god moves in judgment god judged the angel god judged the earth And then he comes to verse 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes Convemed them to to destruction Making them an example To those who after afterward would live ungodly and delivered righteous lot Who was oppressed with the filthy conduct of the wicked For that righteous man dwelling among them tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds Now he's speaking concerning Sodom and Gomorrah The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah These cities are proverbial for their evil and are mentioned often in scripture as warnings Now when you think of Sodom and Gomorrah More than likely you normally think of of one sin that is associated with Sodom and Gomorrah But There was more than one sin You may also only think of Sodom and Gomorrah two cities when in reality There were five cities that were judged according to genesis chapter 14 verse 2 God judged Sodom god judged Gomorrah. He also judged Adma, Zebuim and A small city called Bila or Zor They were all caught in the judgment of god Now because Sodom is mentioned often Ezekiel the prophet can be turned to because Ezekiel speaks concerning these cities and their sins in Ezekiel 16 49 and 50 He said this was the sin of your sister Sodom She and her daughters were arrogant Overfed and unconcerned They did not help the poor and needy They were haughty and did detestable or disgusting things before me. Therefore. I did away with them as you have seen God gave the root of the sins that are associated with these cities and why they were destroyed the root of the sin was their pride They thought they were the source of their own blessings. They weren't thankful Romans 1 21 says although they knew God they didn't glorify him as God nor were thankful But became futile in their thoughts and their foolish hearts were darkened God had blessed them But they monopolized the abundance they had and they didn't care for others They had a fullness of food. They had a fullness of abundance But abundance of idleness and they had unconcerned for the poor And these are things that God judged But they also according to verse 50 of Ezekiel 16 They also Were haughty and did detestable things before me and that's why God says therefore. I did away with them What else did they do? What else did they do? What other sin were they guilty of? We're all familiar with it It was the sin of sexual perversion It was a sin of homosexuality You want to change your generation the way generation thinks you want to change a society? Do you go after the old people? Now Old people are said in their ways most people would say Most older people don't really have an openness to be challenged and To pick up new ways of thinking so what do you do go after the kids? How do you go after the kids? You get them as early as you can You get them when they're small you get them in preschool You get them in kindergarten you get them in in elementary school If you can get them in in the early formative years of their lives you can convince them that all kinds of things are right It becomes their culture. So by the time they're getting older they have reasons to believe because this is the way It's always been it's always been this way for me as I growing up. This is what I've adhered to So how do you get to the kids you destroy families?  Well, you give them other things you give them education, but you give them education for people who don't have morals And so ultimately what you can do when they're four or five is you can begin to teach them that certain behaviors are okay and that You don't even have to deal with the the behaviors or beliefs of the older people Just just concentrate your attention on the younger Give them reading books that speak about a little girl having two mommies or a little boy having two daddies Make it very mean spirited and evil to ever say anything about homosexuality and As if it's wrong you never want to do that because after all that's hateful, isn't it? That's judgmental That's critical. That's that's mean pass some laws Pass some laws that say that A man marrying a man is fine or a woman marrying another woman is fine because all it really requires is for you to love one another And how can you be such a hater? How can you how can you be so opposed to people's civil rights? And And that's what you do You want to cloud it a little bit more get some contemporary issues and say that it's bigotry It's a form of bigotry. It's a form of bigotry that that that america is is Involved in that causes people to actually be bigoted and overly critical to these poor people Get some entertainment Have some very Appealing talk show hosts who are very much in favor Of this lifestyle it might as well get a lesbian or homosexual to get involved in in championing the cause And if you can get the president behind it all the better And what do you end up doing? Well through the education and the culture and the common culture you take a generation of children And you erase from them any concept of morality And people don't want to argue about that. So what they do is they They say well, we have scientific evidence even though there has never been a A gene that has ever been presented as being a quote-unquote homosexual gene So what you say is you just just basically we're born Homosexual you even want to change the name from homosexual. You give it something that has a more cherry thing.  They don't talk about sob and Gomorrah If they do they just simply say they were inhospitable cities and God brought judgment because they were inhospitable to the angels and so you just transform the whole story into something that's current something that is not true And you end up with changing a generation which we have seen take place in our time Watch a comedy a tv program on any Any primetime spot you're going to find a number of very funny families that have homosexual in it Or offices that have funny homosexuals because everybody knows that every homosexual is a lot of fun to be around They're all got great senses of humor and they just be cool to hang with and That's what has happened in our generation as simple as i'm making them simplifying it obviously But that's what's happened That's how you do it You just get the generation coming up and convince them it's okay and that has happened here in the united states in my lifetime in my lifetime When I was a kid growing up. I knew certain behaviors were wrong and certain behaviors were right But you know those behaviors are not being spoken of today They're actually being we're actually being told that they're right and it's outdated. Why do you have these marriage laws? Anyway, it's wrong for you Well, they're marriage laws for a reason You know a man falls in love with his horse. He can't marry the horse. Why? A man falls in love with his daughter. He can't marry his daughter why You see what we're doing is we're taking the morality out of marriage And we're trying to make it some kind of civil right And in doing so We have undermined the authority of the family as god created it one of the three building blocks of all societies That's what we've done Noah was a preacher of righteousness And he was ignored There are many today in pulpits just like this who are preachers of righteousness and they are being ignored Because people don't want to hear it Because wrapped up in the heart of man is rebellion And when we hear something we don't want to believe or agree with we simply say that's your opinion And we modify it whatever's being said so it becomes acceptable to the way we think and what we'd like to believe When god was speaking concerning sadham and gamora. It's found in the book of genesis in chapter 19 He's speaking concerning it in that passage how that angels had come to spend time in Sodom and and lot who was there saw them and said no you can't stay in the streets. It's dangerous at night come into my house It says in genesis 19 four and five Before they lay down the men of the city the men of Sodom both old and young all the people From every quarter surrounded the house and they called the lot and said to him Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out that we may know them carnally We want to have relations with them is what they were saying It was not in his pot in hospitality that that Sodom and Gamora was judged for it It was for the sins of Sodom including sexual perversion In jude seven Jude said Sodom and Gamora and the cities around them in a similar manner to these having given themselves over to sexual Immorality gone after strange flesh are set as an example suffering the vengeance of eternal fire Well, you see there are some who today will say well, Jesus never even spoke of this sin And yet you christians seem to make big deal over it Well, Jesus used Sodom as an example in mark chapter 6 verses 10 through 12 He said to them in whatever place you enter a house stay there till you depart from that place And whoever will not receive you nor hear you when you depart from there Shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them assuredly I say to you it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gamora in the day of judgment than for that city So they went on and preached that people should repent Matthew 11 23 and 24 a new Capernaum who are exalted to heaven will be brought down to Hades For if the mighty works were done in you were done in Sodom It would have remained until this day But I say to you that it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment than for you Luke 17 28 29 likewise as it was also in the days of lot they ate they drank they bought they sold they planted They built but on the day that lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brinstone from heaven and destroyed them all He used Sodom as an example of judgment and by correlating with scripture the sins of Sodom You know that it included sexual perversion But what did he do? He delivered somebody from the midst of that verse 7 He says he delivered righteous lot who was oppressed with the filthy conduct of the wicked for that righteous man Dwelling among them tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds A lot of people today and I can say this from experience do not understand The passion of a preacher who wants to preach righteousness. They just don't What do they say you're judgmental you're harsh you're condemnatory You're legalistic yourself righteous Lots heart was pierced by the evil that he saw the question has to be asked is ours is ours Is my heart pierced by it Is my heart pierced by what I see When I see children being raised to believe that things that god forbids is acceptable When I see the world that we live in going down the tubes How how am I supposed to feel how are you supposed to feel it should grieve us Jesus stood over the city of Jerusalem and wept over it He wept over it not only did he weep over Lazarus a single individual, but he wept over cities He said you're lost judgments coming it broke his heart That's how it should be for us Not that we shouldn't enjoy our lives god gives us joy and grace and peace and love wonderful things But we ought to have something within our soul that is pierced when we see evil It ought to cause us in some way or other to to be willing and open to share what the truth is to bring people out of the fire To encourage them to know the goodness of god and the grace of god and the love of jesus christ and the peace that can be given to you I wrote something that was published in the orange county register a while back now and an angry homosexual wrote me and and and tried to He told me off is what he did and I wrote him back And I said you say that you're gay I said I have never met more miserable people in my life than homosexuals You're not gay.   It doesn't matter whether the church gets angry at me or not My job isn't to make people happy. It's to help them become holy. I'm supposed to give the word of god And if righteous lot was grieved I should be grieved That's how it works That's how it works I don't want to become a pastor Who is just passive in the sight in the face of evil? I want to preach a message that will save people from it. I remember a young woman in our fellowship who came And I was teaching a passage that dealt with it just like I am right now And she came with her lesbian girlfriend And later on Wrote me a letter a week or two later. I got a letter and she said I was there. I heard you writing. I heard you speaking concerning homosexuality And I went home with my girlfriend and we began to speak and My girlfriend said all that's his opinion She said but I opened the bible up And I read the passage over again and I looked at the cross references you gave And she said david she goes The bible does teach That homosexuality is a sin Then I'm going to receive judgment She says I want you to know I gave my heart to jesus christ and I've been born again And then several years later she moved she wrote me She's one of my facebook friends to this day And she is married. She has children. She's serving the lord See the truth will set you free It sets you free And that's what we're supposed to preach in there if you cannot go forth weeping very Precious seed you will not come again rejoicing bringing your sheaves with you There there needs to be a place of a broken heart and and and righteous lots heart was pierced by what he saw He lived in Sodom But he never allowed Sodom to live in him In Psalm 119 158 it reads I beheld the transgressors and was grieved because they kept not thy word God wants to set the captive free Compromise and preaching with compromise will never set a captive free It's only the truth that sets somebody free And god knows how to set you free It says in verse 9 the lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment Even as Noah his family and lot were delivered even so those who trust in the lord will be rescued So i'm 34 15 through 19 says the eyes of the lord are on the righteous His ears are attentive to their cry The face of the lord is against those who do evil to cut off the memory of them from the earth The righteous cry out and the lord hears them. He delivers them from all their troubles The lord is close to the broken heart and saves those who are crushed in spirit A righteous man may have many troubles, but the lord delivers him from them all God reserves the unjust for their judgment But he also Delivers us out of our temptations and we have a place that is appointed to us Called heaven Those who have trusted in jesus have a different destiny. They enjoy fellowship with god as it says in psalm 16 11 You will show me the path of life In your presence is fullness of joy at your right hand our pleasures forever more That's why truth is so important eternity hangs in the balance Went into a An icu unit Man was hooked up with all kinds of tubes He was dying of AIDS I walked into the room As I walked into the room there He looks up at me his wife is standing next to him And as I stood next to his bed, I had come to pray for him because he was he was dying He motioned to his wife and his wife gave to him a piece of paper and a pen He had tubes running down his throat so he couldn't speak And I'll never forget him with his shaky hand writing on this piece of paper and He handed it to me And as I opened and I read what he wrote it simply said this it said I am eternally grateful to you The word eternally came out of that page Because he died of AIDS But he had come to faith in jesus christ through our ministry And he went to be with the lord jesus christ eternity means something Eternity means something When people are on their death bed, they don't say I wish I'd have gotten that Porsche They don't say I wish I had that bigger house I've attended more than one person dying and I can guarantee you They don't have things like that that they say I wish I'd have spent more time with my family. I wish I'd have loved my wife more I wish I'd have been a better servant of jesus christ is what I've heard You don't want to enter eternity Like that you want to walk into eternity with joy. There's pleasure awaiting you forever more Preachers of righteousness are grieved by sin But they're overjoyed by the grace Of god We preach the grace of god But there is sin You turn from your sin and you turn to your savior God knows how to reserve the unjust for punishment But he also delivers the righteous out of temptation trust the lord Our father we ask that you would work in us today We ask that by your holy spirit you would move amongst us And even as our eyes are closed our heads are bowed Perhaps there are some in this room right now that the spirit is speaking to You need to get right with god as our eyes are closed our heads are bowed You need prayer to get right with him. You want to open up to him now Would you raise your hand? Let me pray for you right where you're at Father you see these hands and you know the reason why they're being raised to you I ask in jesus name that you would reach down and touch these whose hands are raised And may they enter into fellowship with you may their sins be forgiven wash them and cleanse them renew them And use them for your glory. May they be born again May they become new creations even as they're opening to you if they're rededicating Father may their life be on the proper track now May they move forward in you that their lives might be a blessing to others and be blessed by you We thank you and receive by faith from you lord. Thank you jesus You can put your hands down And lord would you keep moving in us?   That's my promise to you. I will always teach you the word of god Our father we just would come before you now asking that you would work in our hearts and use us for your glory We leave this place into a field that is so White for harvest use us lord. May our hearts be grieved by the sin May we not judge the sinner may we love them, but may we do the best we can help them to see you May we live in such a way that our words will have even more power lord Because our lives so often can undermine the message we give May we live and may we give that which is from you in jesus name. We pray Amen god bless you


My name is Kinsey. I'm the marketing director for Food on the Hill, AKA all of the food on campus. And today I'm going to show you around our food hall and then also just talk a little bit more about dining locations on campus. Feel free to ask questions throughout this live. And yeah, let's go ahead and dive right into it. We're starting right at the entrance, and so a few things I wanted to point out right away is whenever you get to our food hall, what you're going to do is grab your campus ID. Where your meal plan is actually housed, and you're actually going to just swipe yourself in. So you'll swipe it, it'll print a receipt, and then grab that receipt, and you're going to want to hold onto it, and I'll show you why later. But before we keep moving on, I wanted to show you a few fun things that we're adding to this year's dining experience. Right next to each of our scanners, if it is a meal trade location, there is a black sticker. And so the black sticker shows we've got meal trade all day every day, which is super great. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you can meal trade three times a day, which is insane. But if you scan this QR code right next to that scanner, it'll actually show you this graphic that breaks it all down for you. So you've got your breakfast options, your lunch options, and your dinner options. So definitely utilize that as a resource. And if you have any questions, message us. Has it ever been that flexible? Honestly, it's been that flexible, and this year we were like, you know, why don't we break it down and show you guys how to do it just a little bit easier? So it breaks it down, here's all your breakfast options, because you've always been able to do it during breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but we just never really specified all of the meal periods and timing for that. So this year we did that to help you guys figure out and navigate more of your meal trade options on campus. Another thing that we have at our locations, if you weren't able to join us for in-person orientation, don't sweat it, you're still going to get some of the resources when you come to campus. So this is actually what we call our meal plan brochure. These are all your meal plans on campus, and it breaks it down. Here's your meal swipes. Your meal swipes are for those all-you-care-to-eat dining halls, Fulbright and Pompret, swipe in, get all you want. You can eat as little or as much as you'd like. You can meal trade, which is kind of what I just talked about. So instead of swiping into that dining hall, you can trade one of your meals of the week at one of our retail locations. So that means Chick-fil-A for breakfast, our Cabo location for dinner, and so much more. So definitely check out this black sticker when you get here. It'll break it all down for you. And then last component is your dining dollars. Those dining dollars are used just like cash, just like a debit card. They come with your plan automatically. They're for the whole semester. So that's huge. And the best part about them is they're tax-free, which locally our food and beverage tax is 12%. So they're really saving you some money. Those dining dollars can be used at any of our dining locations. Say you have plan 15 and you run out of your 15 meals for the week. You can still use those dining dollars at every single one of our locations, food hall, dining halls, all of them.  I'm definitely a coffee person. If you can't tell by how fast I'm talking. If you run out of those, no worries. You can actually reload them in increments of 50s, 75 and 100 dining dollars. Just know they don't roll over to that next semester. So use them all up. So this is a huge resource. And one of my personal favorite things that we've added to this past year is top 10 questions asked at orientation. So if there's ever a question that you're like, I have no idea. When does my meal, when do I meals reset and all of these things? This is a huge resource for you guys. But if you have any additional questions, I'm going to have you follow me over here. Emily, did you want to introduce yourself? Yeah. Hi, everyone. My name is Emily. I'm a marketing intern at the university housing. And feel free to ask any questions or tell us where you're tuning in from in the comments. Yeah. Okay. So this is us. This is our food on the hill. We've got Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. We're on TikTok now too. Definitely give us a follow.  We'll be showing you events, limited time offers and all that fun stuff coming to campus. But we're an additional resource. So if you get here and you have no idea how to use that meal plan, please, please, please message us. We want to make sure you know what you're doing. We want to make sure you like it and all of that fun stuff. So definitely give us a message. We're very accessible right there. We're at the palms of your hands. So if you have any questions on how that thing works, message us. This is another fun thing. So if you are a student that actually isn't living on campus, we do offer multiple meal plans. So we've got plan 10 to unlimited plus for those on-campus students. But actually if you live off campus, you can still purchase those meal plans as well as plan five, plan 25, plan 50, plan 80. There's so many plans. So definitely check out all of them and see if you, if there's one that really will fit your schedule and make sense for you. And then I want to hop right over here. I'm going to do a quick little turnaround. This is our campus dining map. We've got 20 plus locations for you to choose from, from Fulbright Dining Hall up here to Pomfret Dining Hall down here. We've got a lot of locations right there. Well, right now where we are, we're in our food hall. And so our food hall actually encompasses nine new locations. We started this last year. So we've got a year under our belt. We're really excited for you to see what else we're coming up with this semester. As far as new locations on campus goes, we are currently, we just switched over from flying burrito to Cabo Mexican Grill. Cabo Mexican Grill, that's very much like Chipotle. Build your own burritos, burritos bowls, nachos, all of that fun stuff. Super good Tex-Mex. And then another fun thing about Cabos, we actually added wellness bowls and wellness bowls from, yeah, keto, paleo, so no matter the diet or dietary need that you have, we have tried to make that, that location very accommodating. And then lastly, we've got a new Hill Coffee Co. down at Willard J. Walker. Fun fact, Hill Coffee Co. We added that addition to campus about two years ago. We have a local roaster called Mountain Bird Coffee. And then we also have an incredible pastry team naming all of our bagels in-house, croissants in-house. Every single bread that you see in there is all made in-house. What's your pastry weakness? Oh my gosh, any croissant. I'm a big croissant girl. If I'm having a day, I'm getting a croissant. So any of their croissants, they always kind of add them. But my favorite is the almond croissant. Super good. So that is amazing. And Hill Coffee Co. is super fun. It's going to be down, if you're in Walton or Kimball Hall, it'll be all kind of close to that. And another fun perk about it is actually one of our partners with Mountain Bird graduated from the MBA program down at Walton. So fun. Great connections to the university. Oh yeah, we love to see it. All right, so now we're going into our space. Before I show you kind of like our perks and freebies and all that fun stuff, I do want to quickly show you some of the murals that we added to campus this year. We wanted this food hall to feel like Fayetteville. We wanted it to feel more local. And so therefore, we actually partnered with a lot of our local artists. So this one is personally one of my favorites. This is Jason Jones. You'll see a lot of his work throughout our space. It's kind of tying in that fun robot that you might see while you're driving on college and all of that fun stuff with food on campus. So we're super excited to have these additions. And so you'll see a few more. That robot has a very big heart. Yes. It's really sweet. Oh, and it's a strawberry. Yeah, it's a strawberry and a heart. Yeah, exactly. We love to see it. We got a comment. Cameron says, I'm a big fan of croissants too. I'm more of a butter croissant person. Oh, well, we do have those as well. So we'll satisfy that need. I'm a chocolate croissant person myself. Me as well. Okay, we've got different croissants going on. We got it all. Okay, so really quickly, I want to break down. So you've got that receipt in your hand. We just swiped into this food hall. The best part about it is not only do you get a meal from one of the nine locations, you get three freebie stations as well. So in that ticket comes with one of these freebie stations. We've got the pantry, dessert and fruit bar. What you're looking at right now is the pantry. Cool thing. So we've got an associate behind the counter. They'll be able to make a waffle for you, toast, bagel. We've got fruit. We have cereal so much. There's so much to choose from and they'll make it just the way you want it. This is also where our coffee is.  But this is included in your meal. I really wanted to highlight this one. No ticket required. No ticket required. Yeah. Once you swipe into this location, you have access to those freebie stations automatically. So the only places you'll need the ticket is when you go to Redeem your meal. So with that being said, let's kind of pan over over here. We've got Debbie's Morning Drive. Debbie's Morning Drive is our breakfast location. So we've got a breakfast burrito, tomato sauce with egg and cheese sandwich, and a lot of other offerings for breakfast. It can be grab and go, but we also have a breakfast plate. And in that plate, it changes every single week. So it can be French toast one week, waffles the next. It comes with egg, protein, and then obviously you can still grab your fruit from our freebie station. So a really well-rounded meal. One of my favorite parts about this Debbie's Morning Drive is it's actually named after one of our long-term supervisors, Debbie. Every, for the past like 15 plus years, she's been opening this food hall when it was like a dining hall and everything. So she has been such a rock star on our team. And so it felt really right to name this location after her. Oh, it's a nice tribute. Yeah, we love it. And we've got Arkenstile. I will let you know, we're adding a facelift to this one, but I'm going to point out some fun things about this. So Arkenstile is kind of our home style meats smoked in house meat. So fun fact, we've got a smoker now in this location, and you will be able to smell it. It is absolutely amazing. I have this downstairs and I'm always smelling barbecue and everything like that.  So it's always an offering of smoked whole pork and then another meat. And then it also has like seasonal veggies, mac and cheese, you know, the good old home style meals. And one great thing about this, if meat isn't for you, you can actually just add all the sides. So if you still love that mac and cheese, that seasonal veggie, you can just kind of make a whole plate of that. The cool part about this is we actually, not only do we smoke the meats in house, but we make all the sauces in house. My personal favorite is the Alabama white. So good. Is that the mayo sauce? I don't know if it's mayo.  It is so good. Put your favorite barbecue altogether. What type of cuts would you like? So I would say on Thursdays, they do a smoked meatloaf. And I honestly never thought that that would be for me.  You have to get it. Smoked meatloaf. Smoked meatloaf. I know, right? Today I learned. Yeah, exactly. So watch out. You got to get it. We have a question. Okay, yeah. Someone asked, is Starbucks at the Union, Starbucks at the Union can be a meal trade? Starbucks is not quite at the Union. It's downstairs connected to founders. While it isn't meal trade, you can actually use your dining dollars. So if you see Starbucks here, you can use your dining dollars. A question that I keep seeing very frequently is, if I have a Starbucks gift card gifted to me, can I use my gift card on campus? And you can't. You can also use Starbucks gift card downstairs. But while you can't meal trade there, you can use your meal plan. And then the only other place that you can't quite use, is like an outside gift card is checked today. So we're still working on that, but Starbucks can. And a pro tip about Starbucks, especially do not go there between classes. Try to go like before a class or some odd time, because otherwise the line is super long. Yeah, exactly. Very popular. Right. And that's another reason we're adding the Hill Coffee Co. down by Walton and Kimball and all these other places. There's definitely a lot of, a huge coffee scene in the city of Fayetteville. And so we recognize that. So that's why we're putting some high quality coffee down by those locations. So, great question. One thing I wanted to point out here, we've actually got on this side. We've partnered with Experience Fayetteville. So this is just a fun little touch. Not only is it arch and style, but it's another local piece of kind of that Fayetteville look. So you can see some bikers. And if you don't have a bike now, I promise you'll probably buy one by the end of your senior year. We're a big mountain biking community, so. Okay, then we've got root for you. It's a salad that'll have you rooting. So these salads are all pre-made, which is super great. Grab and go. Everything in this location that you're seeing. So everything in the food hall is served to go. So you can come in here, grab your meal quickly, and leave. So that's just one thing I wanted to mention. And then root for you. Back to that, we've got house-made salads, dressings made in-house. There's all kinds. If you love salads, one of my personal favorites is the Southwest salad, and then you can't go wrong with the chicken soup. Cameron asked, curious question, is there any vegan food on campus? Absolutely. I've got you covered. So let's keep going, and I'll show you a few more locations. So actually, we'll pause right here for a minute. But basically, vegan-vegetarian, we are going to be releasing a vegan-vegetarian guide on all the places that you can get a vegan-vegetarian meal if you follow. Arke eats well. That is our campus dietitian. And she really tries to do meatless Mondays and all that fun stuff. We'll have a location in this food hall, specifically geared towards people that do choose being a vegetarian lifestyle. We've got you covered. But yes, there are a lot of options on campus. One thing I highly, highly recommend is downloading our Dine on Campus app. It is a green logo.  Download that app, Dine on Campus, and log in with University of Arkansas. It'll show you all of our meals, all of our menus, all of our hours, events, and so much more. But it's huge for people that might be adhering to a different dietary need or dietary lifestyle. So go there. It'll show you, here's all your options.  If we go there, you can see those icons. We got vegetarian vegan avoiding gluten. So if you see those icons, it'll show you in the menu what that specific item appears to be. So great question. This, while you can't see all the delicious things right now, is our dessert bar. It's something that you'll also smell right around the corner. This is also a freebie station. So when you're done with that meal, you can come here and enjoy a dessert. A fun fact on here, they do every Friday, they do a cookie cake Friday. What is cookie cake Friday? It is something that has been around since I was a freshman here. Okay. Which was a long time ago, not that long, about like six years ago. And basically, every single Friday we do cookie cakes. They're decorated all that fun stuff. And you can just, I mean, who doesn't love cookie cakes? It's cake and a cookie. Yeah, exactly. It's both things. It's delicious. It's too good to us. We love it. And then this is our, whoa, another freebie station. This comes with your meal. And so basically, we've got yogurt purfait, a side salad of fruit, and then while supplies last some smoothies. So definitely a location I would go for. I mean, I'd go for all of them. Whatever you need to do. This is the green table. So this one's really cool. So if you're someone that has a food allergy or dietary need, this is a location that I really, really recommend going to pretty frequently. Fun facts, it's free or avoids the top eight allergens. And so what that means is basically, it can be gluten free, whatever you need it to be. If you have just like a specific dietary need, this food is always very clean. And the best part is this, our staff here and our associates here are super well trained. All of them are, but these specific ones go through an extensive food allergy training. And so this location is set apart from all of them to try to avoid all of the cross-contamination, all that fun stuff. So this location is really great for people with specific dietary needs and food allergies. Again, I really recommend downloading or dying on campus app. And if you are someone that is in this category, please email our dietician on campus, Ashley. I'm losing my breath. She is amazing. She will basically sit down one on one with you and just really go through all of the resources on campus on how to navigate your food allergy or dietary need and be able to really make sure you have all of those resources. So email her, diet at urg.edu. Diet at urg.edu. That's a pretty easy one to remember. Right? Let's do a little bit. Connection kind of gets a little wonky. But basically, if you missed anything that I said, just know that the green table is at not only in our food hall or Fulbright Dining Hall and our Pompryant Dining Hall. So if you are someone with a food allergy or food restriction, please, please, please take advantage of the green table. If you are not someone that would avoid the top of the allergens you truly cannot tell. It is such a great meal. Super well-rounded. Seasonal veggies, grilled chicken, all that fun stuff. Super great. Another thing I want to make sure that you do here is if you are someone with that food allergy, food restriction, please email dietaturg.edu to talk to Ashley, our campus dietician. We already have 33 people rejoining us. We're good. Resilient Razorbacks. Yes, we love it. Okay, speaking of Razorback, this one's really fun. So this is our burger location. So it's called Tailgate. We've got burgers, chicken tenders, chicken tender sandwich. And then also, a fun fact about this one is Tailgate, it's a burger that tells the story. So we made all of our sauces and halves. We're always highlighting some of our new menu items. Every single week at each of our locations in this food hall, most of the time you'll see a new, like a new special. So this one, one time we had like a catfish po-boy. So we've tried to switch it up pretty frequently. A cool fact about this is that our patties all over campus are all fresh, never frozen, sustainably sourced. We really try to make sure that that burger you're getting is the best one in Fayetteville. And we've heard this one's pretty good, being that it is one of the most favorite popular locations in this place. And we got a few questions. Yeah, what's up? Before the live crashed, we had a question that someone asked, where is this located on campus? Great question. So if you, it's actually 1021 of West Dixon Street. And so basically, if you go across, or if you see the Starbucks on campus, right off of Dixon, we're right above that. So you'll see it. It's the top of Dixon. It is the top of Dixon. It's like west side of Dixon. Yeah, we're the peak. Central campus. Central campus, right next to Yogam Humphreys. And then I can't ever remember what's that dorm right across the street. Gregson. Gregson. Gregson. And then also, to the corner of us, is the Chi Omega Green Theater. And Ben asks, with the unlimited plan, could you swipe in twice to get two main courses? Such a great question. Ben, you will have to wait just a little bit of a time period with unlimited. So if you grab a meal, I recommend, we do it in 30 minute increments. So if you grab a meal, eat it here. And then if you don't want one for dinner later, or want to grab breakfast or something like that, you just have to wait in the time period. So 30 minutes. Then you can swipe in. And that's just for the unlimited plan. So good perk for you. Yeah. And they can take that with them. Yes, exactly. All this food is served to go. So you can always take it to go. And Bella asks, if you have early arrival, will the food halls be open and available? Yes. Yes. We are getting some hours posted today. So if you follow food on the hill, definitely check out the hours. We also have Dine on Campus. That Dine on Campus app is huge. Download it. I swear to help you. I regret not downloading it until my second semester. So definitely do that. Download it. It'll show you all of our hours real time. It'll show you a campus map as well. So if you don't know where this is, it'll go to Google Maps and all that kind of stuff. So definitely download it. But yes, the meal plan officially starts at the 12th. We already have locations open on campus for you. So if you do arrive before then and you need to use it there, definitely you can. We've got locations for you. But your meal plan starts at the 12th. Therefore, multiple locations will be open for you to use it. And I will point out that for our residential students who mostly those are tuning in, on the north side of campus, you'll typically go to Fulbright. On the south side of campus, you'll typically go to Palmfret Food Hall. And then if you're in the central part of campus, you'll typically come here. However, you can go to any of them that you're, like if you're visiting a friend in the north, just stop in there. You'll have a lot of flexibility. Lots of flexibility. Lots of things to try. I do office right under here. So I'm a little biased. This is definitely one of my favorite locations. But there's going to be a lot of options for you. Okay. On the right-hand side, we've got El Cerdo, which means the pig. This is a huge crowd favorite, I would say. So this is burritos, burrito bowls. So super delicious. They've got potato, chicken, beef. And then also, like I said earlier, there's always like new menu items that they're changing. So one of my favorite is the green chili pork, I think, pulled pork. It's good. So I always get that in a burrito. Cool thing comes with chips and queso. Automatically, we know that's a must. And then we've also got some sour cream, house-made sauces, pico de gallo, all of that fun stuff. And those are all made in-house. So definitely check it out. We have a few more questions. All right. Someone asked, are there buffet-style dining halls, or are they all based on a meal swipe system? Okay. Absolutely love this. So you're kind of answering kind of in the same realm as both of those questions. Your meal swipes work at those dining halls, Pomfret and Fulbright, and they're all you care to eat buffet-style. So what you're going to do is you're going to grab a plate and you're going to serve yourself. And so it's super great. You can load on as much as you want.  Those meal swipes work at those locations and they are completely self-serve. You can go up multiple times all that fun stuff. And as you're talking about those different food styles and those halls, what are some things you might have? I don't know that soft-serve ice cream is commonly available. Oh, yes. There's a place where you can have your own sort of pasta bowl built. Right. Yeah. And pizza, obviously. Yes. Oh, yeah. You have your staples. You've got your pizza, your pasta. My personal favorite at Fulbright dining hall in the mornings, you have a lot of meals that go on rotation. So, it totally depends on the day. That's where that Dine on Campus app really makes sense. Download it. Check out the menu before you go. But yeah, it goes to first, totally right. You can get kind of your staples every day. You can build your own sandwich, build your own salad, but also you might see like a Tikka Masala. You know, it varies. So, one fun thing about those dining halls is that we often do events throughout the year. Those are kind of going to bring in some more fun styles. Have you ever have input or have anything that you want to see in your dining hall? Messages on food on the hill. And we have one more question. Someone said, will there be socially distanced seating this year? Great question. So, I'm going to segue into that COVID question as a whole. So, currently we are back to normal seating, but we are adhering to the state guidelines and the university guidelines. But yeah, great question. We will be constantly adapting to whatever we need to to make sure that you guys are safe. We not only want you guys to be safe, we want our associates to be safe. And speaking of associates, we're hiring. So, if you need a job, leg with a little segue into that. Yeah, if you need a job, just text York to 75,000, making sure I remember all those zeros. So, 75,000, you are, it'll show you baristas, kitchen crew, whatever you are good at. We might have a position available for you. And from the university's perspective on COVID, we're highly recommending that everybody gets vaccinated before they arrive. We also have vaccinations available once you get here. Masks are encouraged, but not required because of our state law. Yes. So, yeah, good to know those things. Yeah, love it. Okay, this is your place. Urban more, urban more, lover of plants and more plants. Definitely one of my favorite concepts. So, fun fact, this is a bowl, bowl concept. So, every single week, we have a bowl of the week. So, this one is Mediterranean, comes with the taros, carrots, cucumber, tzatziki, and then all of the fun things, baked, baked, falafel, all that good stuff. It's really, really good. So, here is one of my favorites. They always just really make sure that it is what you need.  So, definitely just speak up. But this location is made for you. We're trying to be as vegan, vegetarian, friendly as possible. There are more options than just this location. Again, we'll be coming out with a vegan, vegetarian guide, so stay tuned. So, what's your favorite place to eat? Okay. I mean, the meatloaf is one of my favorites. And then I would say we're going to go to Passport to Pasta, Chicken Alfredo. I love the potato burrito at Ulcerdo. The Mediterranean Bowl from Urbamore is one of my favorites. And then also the Kung Pao Tofu Bowl.  If I could just list one item for each person, I would probably... And I'll point out Humphreys is right across the way here. Humphreys in Yokoh and a great view of the mountains over here. Oh, yeah. This is definitely... We always joke like, should we work upstairs? The view is amazing. So, definitely one of my favorite parts to sit down and grab some lunch. Wanted to show you really quickly another beautiful mural from Jason Jones. Personally, one of my favorites. I know I keep saying it's my favorite. I think I just love every single one of them so much I can't decide. But yeah, this is super fun. Like, what comes first, the chicken or the egg is what Christopher said. And I was like, this is definitely a great one. And then right across, you can see another one. It's a little further away. But yeah, super great artwork. It's so good to have our local artists making those things. Right? Being able to support them. I love it. I love it too. They're awesome too. They were so fun to work with. So, we really enjoyed them. This is Passport to Pasta. So, this location, this whole food hall, doesn't quite have pizza upstairs. And that's because we have Eureka Pizza, another local pizza vendor right downstairs from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. You can get a large pizza for a meal treat. So, Did you say a whole pizza? A whole pizza. A large pizza. So, freshman 50, don't worry. We got you. Just kidding. So, basically, this is Passport to Pasta. This is definitely one of my favorites. The chicken Alfredo is out of this world. So, so good. But, Passport to Pasta, we try to bring in all kinds of pastas from all different kinds of regions. This comes with garlic knots and a side salad or a side salad. Whatever you want. But, definitely, one of my favorites. Garlic knots. I had introduced this pretty recently. Oh, my gosh. And it's game-changing for me. It's totally a game-changer. And then, like, when you're done with your pasta, you can dip it in the sauce. Yeah. So good. Loaf and pickles. This is kind of like our subway-style deli. So, you can get chips, a soup, but, basically, build your own sandwich. So, super customizable. We do have a few sandwiches that you can choose from. Huge perk here. And something that I haven't mentioned yet is we actually make our bread in-house. So, not only here, but at Pomfret in Fulbright Dining Halls, the bread that you get at the deli, that is made in-house by our amazing, amazing pastry chef, Cody. He's also the one making croissants at Hill Coffee Co. So, his Union Bakery team is amazing. And it's so delicious, but they're bringing us, basically, local bread made fresh every single day in all of our locations. So, super cool there. And so, you graduated from the University of Arkansas. I did graduate from the University of Arkansas. What did you study? I did hospitality management. I thought I wanted to do events, and then I realized that I like food a lot. And then I realized I like marketing a lot, and I could combine the two. So, it's been really, really fun to work here and stay on campus, you know. We have a question. Yeah, what's that? Mel asks, read somewhere that breakfast won't be served everywhere on Friday, August 13th. Will the app indicate which dining will have breakfast that day? I'm not quite sure where we got that breakfast question or the information, but I can guarantee we'll definitely have locations on campus that will be serving breakfast. Again, totally right. Go to that app, look at the menu, look at the hours, but Fulbright and Pumford Dining Hall, as well as this food hall will have breakfast available for you. So, I think it's like 6.30 a.m. to 10.30 a.m. Breakfast will be available. If you don't find exactly what you want, we do still have Hill Coffee Co. They have an amazing SEC sandwich. It's a bagel. Super good. Sausage is even made in-house. Unreal. You can use your dining dollars. So, that's really great. So, if you don't see what you want there, we definitely have options all over campus, as well as Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A is a male trade location. So, definitely check that out. And the union, right? And the union. Yes. Locations are all over campus. Again, I totally recommend downloading that app. Seeing the campus map, it'll really be interactive for you. So, you can see, here is where I am on campus and here's where that food is. So, go check it out. And if you ever, ever have any struggles, I'm a fast walker. Message food on the hill and we'll try to help you find it. So, we can walk around with you. But, this is another mural done by an alligator gar. So, I learned this summer that the Arkansas State Fish is an alligator gar. But, this is super fun. A neon, a cool neon side, but he hates it. Which, if you want to see a frightening fish, go ahead and go to Google and google alligator gar. Yeah, maybe even look up like the world's largest and then you'll be like, I can't believe I swim in lakes. Exactly. That's a monster. Exactly. And then, we're here. And so, let's go ahead and hop in there because we've got another amazing mural done by Tiger Sasha. So, this is stunning. I mean, I don't even know how to describe it. It's hard to convey online when you're seeing here. But, yeah, it can be good for you. Lots of vegetables Yeah, there are details you might point out that you think are specifically, I see, you know, I mean, there's all kinds of things. It's like we should have a scavenger hunt just for this mural, right? Like, but basically, one thing I did want to point out is Fayetteville's my favorite bill. So, if you come to the city of Fayetteville and go to the square, you might see a mural that often a lot of people stand in front of and it's like this beautiful blue mural. Fayetteville's my favorite bill is the one that kind of put that forward. And so, we partnered with the Fayetteville's my favorite bill, staple to our campus dining location. So, super cool that this piece is something that not only connects, you know, like the campus to that, to that slogan, but it also is in our dining hall. So, our food hall. So it's easily accessible. For getting a few questions, what's up? Cameron asked if masks are required this year, they are not. They're recommended. Someone asked, I like your Arkansas razorback necklace. Where did you get it at? And are you guys ready for Arkansas razorback football? Oh, so ready. Fun fact. So my boyfriend actually got this for me. Got it from Etsy and he thought it would be this big and then it came in and it's like kind of gaudy but I'm so here for it and I'm so glad you like it too. But we got it on Etsy. It is fabulous. And Jamie asks which dining hall is this? This is the food hall. So if you go, it's our dining halls, our pump for it dining hall full bright dining hall. The reason that we don't call this a dining hall is because it's not all you care to eat. It's more than you could but it's not quite all you care to eat.  And so that counts as your meal. That redeems one meal as well as three freebie stations. Your pastry, your dessert bar and then fruit bar. Coffee?  Like there's a lot to get here. So definitely recommend when you get here, you know, maybe a little bagel and if you don't finish it, you can snack on it later. So great. But yeah, so this is a food hall. It's on 1021 West Dixon Street right on the top of campus right next to Humphrey's full bright or what? Humphrey's Yocum and then Gregson Dixon right across the street. Yeah. So if you're in Walton or Kimple Hall or anything like that, you'll definitely be, you'll see this location attached to this building is some more mealtry locations. Slim chickens. Sushi with gusto. My personal favorite where the wild greens are. The greens are actually made in a a freight farm. So a big old like freight from how do I even describe this? On the other side of campus don't you have a little like a hydroponic kind of freight farm? Yes. And it's delicious. So the butter head has grown on campus by us. And so, super delicious greens and grains bowls. Random thing. My favorite lettuce is butter leaf lettuce. Oh, yeah. It is amazing. It is so good. Yeah, it's so good. So definitely try that here too. And those are all mealtry locations as well as dining dollars locations. And then we're also connected to the Starbucks and the Eureka Pizza. So much. So much. And this is just one part. Like we just showed you nine locations. We're connected to all these other locations, but there's still so much to eat on campus. So you've got your Union food court. You've got Maple Grill, Pick Theory, all these menus change very frequently. And so there's a ton of variety. And I really personally challenge you to try everything on campus. It'll be hard because you're going to be a freshman up in there where you kind of like stick to the same meal very frequently. Try it all. It's really good. So yeah. Any other questions? Any final questions? Yeah, how's everyone doing? We're caught up on the questions. Any last minute questions, feel free to ask. Let me say one quick little spiel. My name is Kendi. And basically, I run Food on the Hill. So myself and my marketing team, we are Food on the Hill, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook. I know we kind of mentioned it a little bit earlier, but definitely give us a follow and message us. If you have any questions, we are here for you. We want you to know where to eat. We want you to like where you're eating and we want to make sure that you're well taken care of and have all the resources available for the whole semester. We also do giveaways every single Wednesday, every Wednesday throughout the semester, which is super fun. So you'll have a lot of opportunities there. And then we also do takeovers. So if you are a student that loves to eat and you feel like you've got a good grip on campus dining, message us, take over our account. We want to see how you eat and utilize your meal plan. We have a couple questions. Someone asked, do the dining halls offer non-dairy milk alternatives? It's soy milk and almond milk. One thing I really recommend is if you are someone that is going to take advantage of that, talk to our dining hall directors or just go to the front whenever you swipe in and just let them know like, hey, you know, my name is blah, blah, blah. And can I talk to your dining hall director? Our directors want to make sure we have that milk available for you very frequently. So I would just make sure you tell them and they know to order it for you. We do have a more questions.  Let's get that great background in there. And then someone asked, when you have visitors, is there options to pay for their meals? Yeah. You can use your dining dollars. So that's super easy-peasy. When you go, especially when you go into like Fulbright, Pomfret dining halls or this food hall, just say, hey, I have a guest. I would like to pay for them. And then it's actually discounted because it's tax-free if you use your app. So I think that's it. I hate to plug us again, but follow us on social media, download our app. One fun, new thing that's coming to campus is your mobile transact ordering. So you can actually do mobile ordering at some of our locations throughout campus. So definitely download that app as well. We'll have more resources when you come to campus. And if you have any questions at all, bye you guys. Have a good one.


At first it starts from an inspiration, an idea in my mind, but then in order to know that this is the pure idea I go to library and try to learn more about what I want to do and about the material, selection of material and techniques and lots of things which are involved in the process of making art. I started from doing research in the library because I wanted to make some tiles based on the patterns like the Persian patterns which existed in ancient times. So I need to go to library and find some images in the books and then I wanted to have some images of those tiles and then I wanted to deconstruct them in a new contemporary way. I found Emily Carr Library has great resources of art, magazines, journals, a very comprehensive source of art books related to my practice and because the information is up-to-date and we can see the new books on shelves every day almost. For me, library always has been a social place. Lots of things are going on in the library like different workshops even. I was one of the attendants in the writing center workshops in the library. I had exhibition in the library. It was a gathering place for me and my friends to talk about our interest, about our art projects. I had experience of having my work shown in the library and that was amazing because I could see how instructors and other students in different classes are exposed to my artworks and then I could receive their feedbacks. Sometimes they came back to me after even six months and they said to me that oh, is that your work in the library? We really liked it or I could receive different feedbacks which helped me to improve my art practice.
