Aramark making baby steps
Just came across a pretty cool article about Aramark’s decision to pay a little extra for tomatoes grown in Florida in order to increase profits for the harvesters.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Today is Cinco de Mayo. For those of you who don’t know what this is, Cinco de Mayo means “the fifth of May” in Spanish. It also means “we beat the French.” No, it doesn’t. But they did beat the French in the Battle of Puebla 148 years ago, so let’s celebrate. Happy Cinco de […]

Why I support Sahar for President of the Student Union
I’ve made a decision this election to become informed. I want to vote for the candidate whose platform aligns with what I care about and whose vision is complementary to what I want for our university.

Because this first-year class is so large, we don’t fit the stereotypes normally associated with the “typical” Brandeis student. Still, I feel like I had a pretty typical first semester here. In this past semester I realized exciting things about this campus. Brandeis […]

Aramark at Brandeis
From its founding in 1948 until August 31, 1998, all Brandeis dining was in-house. Beginning July 1, 1991, Brandeis began outsourcing to Aramark. In a letter to Brandeis from Jehuda Reinharz, dated May, 1998: “I am pleased to report that Executive Vice President Peter French created an open process of review involving students, faculty and […]

Hi Innermost Parts readers!

I am familiar with Innermost Parts due mostly to Sahar and partly to my own personal interest with the University, so I am extremely excited to begin contributing to this blog. I plan to cover dining-related news, and would like to be […]
