We are embracing “panda-monium” this month as we celebrate the opening of Panda Express, GW Dining’s newest on-campus dining location.

Reminder: Spring 2025 Meal Plans are active through Sunday, May 11.

After lunch service concludes on May 11, any meal swipes remaining on your account will expire. Please utilize as many of your meal plan swipes as possible before this date. Dining Dollars will continue to rollover to future semesters.

Increase in Visitors to Our Dining Locations Throughout April 

Throughout April, the Office of Admissions will host high school students and their families on campus each Monday and Friday, as well as Saturday, April 12. On these days, visitors will have lunch at GW Dining locations, so expect longer lines and please plan accordingly.

Passover Food Options

In observance of Passover, GW Dining, GW Hillel, and the Center for Interfaith & Spiritual Life are offering multiple food options to accommodate all levels of observance.

From April 12 - 20, the dining halls (Shenkman, Thurston, and Pelham Commons) will serve kosher-style meals at designated Passover stations, prepared in non-kosherized kitchens. Certified Kosher-for-Passover meals will be available upon request at GW Hillel. Students seeking certified kosher options must sign up in advance by tomorrow Tuesday, April 1. Passover frozen meals can also be purchased at District House Market.

Panda Express Now Open

National Food Chain Panda Express is open daily from 10:30 am - 10 pm on the corner of I St. and 22nd Street in the Science and Engineering Building.

Students enrolled in the All Access, Vern All Access, and Revolutionary 85 Meal Plans can use one swipe per week as a Flex Meal* at this Panda Express location. Block meal plan participants can use Dining Dollars or Campus Cash as a form of payment. Cash, credit or debit are also accepted payment options. Please email or call GW Dining with any questions regarding how to utilize your meal plan funds at this new location.

*One flex meal is allotted per week from Sunday to Saturday. Flex meals do not carry over into future weeks. Your Flex Meal resets each Sunday at 12 am.
