Students will soon be able to pay with their GWorlds at food trucks around campus, an administrator said Wednesday.
Senior Associate Vice President for Administration Ed Schonfeld said the move was in response to a letter submitted by the Student Association this week.
The University has not yet decided when food trucks will begin accepting GWorlds, and Schonfeld said details about the application process have yet to be ironed out.
“We are in the process of developing criteria for [food trucks’] inclusion in the program,” Schonfeld said. “We continually look for ways to add variety and quality to students’ dining options. We hope that food trucks help meet this goal.”
The move is seen as a win-win by students and administrators: the former get more dining options, while the latter get a slice of the money made by the food trucks.
