Dear Spelman Community,
We are pleased to officially welcome our new dining partner, Bon Appétit Management Company.
Bon Appétit was chosen after an open-bid process and is known for its service to some of the nation’s most renowned and notable colleges and universities. The company was selected because of its tailored approach to dining offerings — particularly its from scratch
philosophy and its sourcing ingredients from local farmers and artisans to ensure freshly prepared meals.
Bon Appétit has aligned its services with the Division of Student Affairs’ goal of ensuring student success by focusing more on student well-being. The team will be led by General Manager Dawyn Patterson and supported by District Controller and Operations and Project Manager Eric Davidson.
In addition to revamped menu options and redesigned cafeteria spaces through this partnership, campus dining patrons will also experience the newly redesigned space on the lower level of the Manley Center. The new line-up of dining services on the lower level of Manley Center now includes a more spacious Starbucks location, Nom (a market specializing in Boba tea and craft deli sandwiches), Ace Sushi and Slutty Vegan.
We are excited to partner with Bon Appétit to create a new dining program that reflects the College’s culture of excellence and
commitment to wellness. Bon Appétit is uncompromising in their mission to provide fresh, healthy, high-quality foods that are responsibly sourced. We are pleased to celebrate this partnership and look forward to full Bon Appétit services across campus starting Thursday, August 10, 2023.
Thank you.
Spelman College
