Step Inside the Heart of UMD Dining

Join Bulldogs Behind the Scenes for a look at something most students and alumni never see. UMD Dining Services invites you inside the newly renovated Main Production Kitchen, the heart of everything served across campus. From a look back at the dining experiences you remember to a guided tour of where dining is today, you’ll see how scratch cooking, new technology, and culinary creativity are shaping the future of food at UMD. It’s part nostalgia, part transformation, and all about creating a better dining experience for every Bulldog.

The session is hosted by Krista Padgett, Assistant Director of Guest Experience Dining Services, and Kristin Kirtz, Head of Marketing & Communications for Dining Services.
