[00:00:00.420]Well, welcome back to our weekly CASNR series
[00:00:03.310]where we're connecting with members
[00:00:05.290]of our college community.
[00:00:06.980]Today, I'm joined with three amazing individuals
[00:00:10.150]from the community.
[00:00:11.140]So first, would our students introduce themselves?
[00:00:13.790]Let us know your name,
[00:00:14.850]where you're from and what your major is?
[00:00:17.427]Hi, my name is Mark (indistinct) from Uganda.
[00:00:21.900]I'm majoring in Integrated Science.
[00:00:25.000]Hi, I'm (indistinct) Smith.
[00:00:26.320]I'm from Curtis, Nebraska
[00:00:28.140]and I am currently a Criminal Justice major.
[00:00:31.554]Perfect.
[00:00:32.420]So Al, you're joining us today too
[00:00:35.730]and you are the Chef Manager
[00:00:37.350]here at our East Campus dining hall facility.
[00:00:39.805]Correct?
[00:00:40.840]Yes, indeed.
[00:00:41.930]Perfect.
[00:00:42.763]So we're going to ask our students, first of all,
[00:00:45.280]a little bit about what they enjoy about this space here.
[00:00:48.320]So, what do you like about the dining hall?
[00:00:51.750]For me, the chairs are so comfortable.
[00:00:54.080]You can see like, they are so diverse,
[00:00:56.970]you can sit anywhere you want.
[00:00:58.702]And second, I like the people here.
[00:01:00.766]Very friendly and always helpful.
[00:01:03.186]Perfect.
[00:01:04.538]Personally, I like the staff very much.
[00:01:07.050]They know everybody's name when you walk in.
[00:01:09.300]They know what you like to eat.
[00:01:10.570]And they're just very friendly and very personable.
[00:01:13.630]Perfect.
[00:01:14.463]So a lot of it's about the people, right?
[00:01:16.467]And the opportunities that you have connections with.
[00:01:19.580]Now, I suspect you also like to eat
[00:01:21.650]when you're here too, right?
[00:01:23.560]So, what's your favorite dish?
[00:01:26.880]For me, it's always milk.
[00:01:28.310]But the new salad bar has saved my life.
[00:01:31.136](everyone laughs)
[00:01:34.510]Personally, I'm a big fan of the grill.
[00:01:38.030]They make really good burgers over there.
[00:01:40.660]Those guys always just know how to cook it right.
[00:01:43.620]Perfect.
[00:01:44.453]And Al, what's the favorite thing
[00:01:45.890]that you like to prepare for the students?
[00:01:49.200]Well, my background is
[00:01:51.610]I'm classically trained in French food.
[00:01:53.370]My grandfather was a true Creole,
[00:01:54.880]so I specialize in Creole and Cajun cooking.
[00:01:57.830]So that's going to be Gumbo obviously.
[00:02:01.570]But for me it's about
[00:02:03.280]the opportunity to serve, to be of service.
[00:02:06.270]And that's the most important thing.
[00:02:08.280]And I think that's what we really try to do,
[00:02:09.790]try to add value to the students' lives.
[00:02:12.820]And to make sure that we're engaging on a daily basis
[00:02:15.920]to make sure that we create an environment
[00:02:17.640]that's welcoming and inviting for everyone here, so.
[00:02:22.290]So well put Al.
[00:02:23.603]Thank you so much for all that you and your team do
[00:02:27.160]to serve our college community,
[00:02:29.030]and the rest of East Campus and the university.
[00:02:32.200]So, one final question that I'm going to ask you is
[00:02:35.370]what's your favorite flavor of dairy store ice-cream, Mark?
[00:02:38.823]Vanilla, so simple.
[00:02:40.380]Okay.
[00:02:41.746]I'm personally a fan of the nifty one fifty.
[00:02:45.980]It's just classic and it's good, good flavor.
[00:02:49.330]Good flavor.
[00:02:50.163]All right and Al?
[00:02:51.130]The peach.
[00:02:51.963]The peach, all right. The peach is the best.
[00:02:53.927]All right, all right.
[00:02:54.940]Well, we want to thank you for joining us again
[00:02:56.690]for our weekly series here in the great facility
[00:03:00.310]that we have in the dining hall on East Campus.
