Beginning Aug. 27, Food Services will implement an adjusted menu and new service hours at its Goldstein Dining location, in an effort to streamline service to meet South Campus student needs.
“Over the past year, we have studied the daily traffic flow in the food court,” says Kris Klinger, senior associate vice president for Auxiliary Services. “We know that students tend to head directly to Main Campus in the morning and then return to South Campus as the day goes on. Our new hours will provide a high level of service to our students when they need it most.”
Starting Aug. 27, Goldstein Dining will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. From 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Dunkin’ will offer its full range of coffee and breakfast products, and customers will be able to select from enhanced grab-and-go meal options, including entrée meals that can be consumed on-site or kept packaged and re-heated at a later time.

Eamon Lee Named Interim Executive Director of Hospitality
Executive Director of Hospitality Jon Webster will depart Syracuse University effective July 15, 2022.

He is an enthusiastic member of the Syracuse University community, a man who bleeds orange and will offer steady guidance to the Food Services department throughout the transition period.
Randy King Named Interim Director of Drumlins Country Club
Chris Myslow has concluded his time at Syracuse University as director of Drumlins Country Club. As the club’s Board of Directors begins the search for a new director, Klinger has asked Randy King to step in as the club’s interim director.
King, who has held the role of Director of Operations at Drumlins since April 2022, has previous leadership experience at other country clubs. His willingness to dive in at Drumlins and hit the ground running will ensure that the club’s members, guests, visitors, and neighbors who play golf or tennis, enjoy the pool, dine at the bistro or host an event, tournament or camp will continue to enjoy a first-rate experience. Randy will work closely with department leaders at the club to act as a conduit to relay information and solicit guidance between staff and Klinger and the Drumlins Board of Directors.
Auxiliary Services will provide further updates when permanent leaders for Drumlins and Food Services have been identified.
