Meatless Mondays at Driscoll
Driscoll Dining Hall will provide meatless dinners on Mondays. This is a student led initiative supported by Dining Services. Please visit our Facebook link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=143694189058839.
The goals of the program are to raise awareness of the environmental, health, and economic implications of a meat based diet. Meatless Mondays are an easy way to put into practice many of the values our institution strives to support including health and the environment. With a totally delicious meal planned please join us for dinner beginning at 5pm. Menu details on the Driscoll menu page!
Meal Plan Changes
Fall Semester 2012:
Beginning May 23, you’ll be able to request a board plan for the fall semester and again during the standard add/drop week in September. (The add/drop period will be the week of Sept. 10, 2012). This is the only time you can change your plan.
Changes and purchases will be effective as soon as your request has been authorized—typically by the next business day–and your student account will be updated then as well. The change will be reflected on your term bill in the next billing cycle.
Information on costs, policies, and procedures are at http://dining.williams.edu/meal-plans/.
If you need assistance or have any questions on this process, please contact us at dining@williams.edu or 413/597-2121.

Dining With Pride
Dining Services is a full service dining operation serving the entire campus community — students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and campus guests. We operate three dining halls, two snack bars, and a grab ’n go lunch program in addition to the Faculty House/Alumni Center, a catering operation, vending, and the college mail room. Each of our operations has its own unique style, but a commitment to “Dining with Pride” is a shared value in our entire department.
Only the Best
Our 100+ employees are dedicated to preparing and serving healthy, nutritious, flavorful meals — rain, snow, or shine. Our outstanding customer service is a point of pride for everyone in the department. We purchase only the finest ingredients from nationally branded and reputable suppliers. We are also committed to buying local, fresh food whenever possible, and are members of Berkshire Grown, an organization which promotes sustainable agriculture.
Meeting Your Needs
We offer a flexible system of Board Plans. The Full Board Plan allows 10 guest meals each semester, and if you miss dinner, the Full Board Plan allows you to use your meal credit Late Night in Whitmans’ and the ’82 Grill. The 14-meal plan allows you to take any 14 of the 21 meals offered and 6 guest meals each semester. There is also a 10-meal plan, a 5-meal plan for seniors, and a 50-meal block plan for off-campus & co-op students. All students on Board Plans may participate in special events such as the annual Harvest Dinner and the Recipe from Home contest. More about Board Plans.
New! Reusable To-Go Container Program
Starting this fall, students may participate in two reusable container programs: reusable lunch bags at Grab ’n Go locations and a carabiner/Eco Shell exchange program at eateries in Paresky Center. More about these programs.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the department at 597-2121, or visit our administrative offices in Droppers House at 15 Park Street.
