FWD: Dewick to replace Carmichael dining services for the rest of the semester

Dear Parents and Families,

I hope you all enjoyed some time with your student during the break. I’m forwarding a message that was sent to students earlier today with an update about dining services in Carmichael. 

Earlier this month, Carmichael Dining Center experienced flooding issues that required temporary closures, which were communicated to students. We have learned that the repairs to permanently fix the issue will take longer than anticipated so Dewick Dining will replace Carmichael Dining Center services for the remainder of the fall semester.  

Our Tufts Dining team is prepared to meet the increased demand, continuing to serve students and meet their dietary needs. In addition to adopting Carmichael's hours at Dewick Dining, other on-campus dining locations—including Hodgdon, Pax et Lox Kosher Deli, and Kindlevan Café—remain open and ready to serve students. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly. 

Thanks very much for your patience and understanding. 

Best,

Dear Student,

The repairs to the Carmichael Dining Center are more extensive than previously anticipated and we will not be able to resume service there until next semester.

When students return to Tufts this afternoon (Sunday, November 30) Dewick will adopt Carmichael’s hours and open at 7 a.m. Sunday to Friday and 8 a.m. on Saturdays and close at 9:30 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

All9Free at Dewick will continue to be available along with the gluten free pantry and we will meet the increased demands as needed. 

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
