Dining on campus is getting a bit of extra love this month. We have a ton of exciting updates and delightful events planned just for you.

New Ames Hall Just-Walk-Out Market

Dining on the Vern has a new addition: a Market in Ames Hall that features Amazon's Just-Walk-Out technology. Simply tap your GWorld card or a credit/debit card at the entrance, pick up your items, and walk out — your purchase will be automatically deducted from your Dining Dollars balance or charged to your credit/debit card. The Ames Just-Walk-Out Market is open when Ames Hall is open. Be sure to check the building hours before stopping by.
