This month's Random Act of Yum was all about showing appreciation.

The Hope College Physical Plant team plays a vital role in supporting Hope Dining Services throughout the year, and we wanted to thank them for their partnership and dedication. As a small gesture of gratitude, we delivered fresh fruit and donuts to their team.

We're grateful for the many individuals whose hard work helps create a positive experience for our students every day. Thank you, Physical Plant, for all that you do! 🍎🍩

🍜 Sneak peek of what’s coming to Phelps!

Today we previewed one of our newest menu offerings: Dashi Noodle Bar, arriving at our Global Bowl station once renovations are complete this upcoming school year.

Featuring soft noodles, crunchy kimchi, savory beef, and a flavorful spicy ginger beef broth, this bowl is just one example of the exciting new dining options headed to campus.

We’re looking forward to offering students even more variety, global flavors, and fresh experiences at Phelps this year — and we hope you’re just as excited as we are! ✨

This past Sunday, Phelps Dining had the privilege of hosting our annual commencement brunch as we celebrated the Hope College Class of 2026 🧡💙🎓

It was a joyful and emotional morning as graduates gathered alongside family and friends to share one final meal together on campus. Guests enjoyed a wide variety of brunch favorites and chef-crafted dishes, including havarti egg scramble, asiago spinach gemelli, boursin mashed potatoes, grilled flank steak, citrus & herb roasted chicken, and many more delicious selections 🍽️✨

We are so thankful to have been part of so many students’ journeys during their time at Hope College. To our graduates, congratulations on this incredible accomplishment! We wish you success, happiness, and new adventures in the exciting chapter ahead 💙🧡

Last week, we celebrated our final Brinner of the academic year at Phelps Dining — a fun and meaningful tradition that brought students together one last time before summer break. With a glow-themed evening, upbeat music, and plenty of waffles, fresh fruit, and donuts, students enjoyed a memorable sendoff with friends and classmates.✨

We are so grateful to have been a small part of your students’ experience at Hope College this year. To our graduating seniors, congratulations — we hope the memories made at Phelps will always hold a special place in your Hope journey. 💙🧡

Wishing all students and families a wonderful summer, and we look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall!

Spring Fling this past Friday was such a joy! 🌸 With beautiful floral decor, delicious walking tacos, fresh fruit, and plenty of sweet treats, it was a wonderful opportunity for students to relax, connect, and enjoy time with friends.

Events like these create meaningful memories and a sense of community on campus. We hope everyone had a fun and safe evening and was able to recharge before finals week begins.

We love our Green2Go program! 🌿

Learn more about it here ⬇️

Hope College’s Green2Go program highlights a practical path to waste reduction for smaller campuses. Reuse is prioritized, with compostable items used only when necessary in tighter retail spaces. Through clear expectations, student education, and staff engagement, the system has become normalized over time demonstrating that even with limited space and staffing, institutions can advance pollution prevention goals while maintaining a high-quality dining experience.

By making reuse the default rather than optional, the college reduced dependence on single-use and compostable packaging while maintaining efficient, predictable operations within a compact campus footprint.
