Senior Slice

What is Senior Slice? Senior Slice is an event we started to celebrate the graduating class with their own custom pizzas. Seniors get to submit their own creations. The selections are then narrowed down by our chefs and the top choices are voted on by students. The winning pizzas are served in various locations around campus on different dates in the Spring semester. Winners get a party pack of pizzas, salad and more with their friends.
