Get Involved

We strive to make dining at Duke an enjoyable experience. To that end, we are always searching for ways to improve menus, programs and services.

Tell us what you want, what you like, what you don’t like, and what just plain bugs you. It’s easy, doesn’t require much time and helps make a difference. Tells us your favorite and least favorite foods and eateries, along with other suggestions. We determine future menus based on feedback and spending habits.

Comment cards are available at each location. Or email to dining@duke.edu or call 919-660-3900. You may also drop by our office, 029 West Union Building from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday-Friday.

Student Dining Committee

Help enhance the dining experience at Duke by joining the Duke University Student Dining Advisory Committee (DUSDAC). Committee members play a key role working closely with Dining Services to discuss everything from menu changes to new eateries.

The committee operates under the auspices of Duke Student Government to foster communication between students, administrators, staff, vendors, prospective vendors and customers. The group is dedicated to helping Duke provide delicious food, fair prices, great customer service and clean, well-organized facilities. With your feedback, DUSDAC helps to rate on-campus eateries and Merchants on Points vendors on customer service and food quality. Each year, we present awards to eateries that excel.



If you think your great taste – and taste buds – could contribute to our mission, contact DUSDAC to get involved. For more information contact Beth Gordon at brgordon91@gmail.com or Jane Moore at jem46@duke.edu.
