Eric Merkle, bakery manager in the department of dining services, spoke about the Thanksgiving bake sale held by the University of Connecticut in preparation for the upcoming holiday.

Merkle said they held the sale through a completely online format. In particular, he said they used the dining marketplace on their official website.

“We did the bake sale 100% online this year through the dining marketplace on our dining.uconn.edu page,” Merkle said.

Merkle said the results of the bake sale were surprising to him as they were better than he expected them to be. He believes this is due to the fact that people are becoming more comfortable with buying food online.

If you become ill and cannot make it to a dining unit for a meal, you may call the dining facility you normally eat in, ask for the manager on duty, and request a meal “to go.” Please provide the manager with your PeopleSoft number as well as the name of the individual who will be picking up your meal. When the designated person picks up the meal for you, they must swipe in their own card, swipe in the requesting student’s card, and ask for the unit manager to assist with the take-out.

If you were on campus this semester and went to the dining halls and/or our retail locations, check your email for our biannual survey. We appreciate your time and feedback. This brief survey will help us make adjustments for the spring semester.

“I make all my own recipes.  I usually see what we have on hand at Union Street Market, and it usually only takes one ingredient to spark my imagination. I’m big on taking traditional recipes and putting a twist on them,” Haggerty said.
