Dining in America

Written to acknowledge the importance of adapting menus at U.S. universities to accommodate international tastes, Anayat Durrani provides examples of how campuses are diversifying their menus. The added benefits are that she encourages international students to be active in expressing their needs, all students have the opportunity to expand their palates, and "comfort" foods from international students' home countries can go a long way toward creating a sense of belonging. This is a simple idea that some educators may see as coddling but adopting international perspectives in the dining hall can even be part of an institution's internationalization strategies.
