When Food Management sent out a call for nominations of Foodservice Heroes—individuals who have exemplified the dedication and commitment to their customers and organizations—we received over 600 responses. Earlier, we highlighted select individuals from all the nominations we received, including several from campus dining programs. Featured on the following pages are other submissions from college and university dining operations of frontline and back-of-house staffers who stepped up to ensure that students and staff continued to be fed over the past year.
