Out 2 Lunch is a program in partnership with UA Dining which encourages you to engage with your faculty members outside of class and over casual conversation. First-year students can use their meal plan towards taking a faculty member out to lunch at an on-campus Bama Dining facility, with the goal of increasing informal interaction and improving your transition to The University of Alabama. Following the conversation, complete the reimbursement form and Bama Dining will credit first-year students the meal plan utilized.
The Out 2 Lunch Experience
Invite your faculty or staff member to lunch by sending an email, asking in person, or visiting office hours. Find a time that works for your availability, it could be breakfast, coffee, or lunch! If you need ideas for who to invite, check out the Go-To List below.
Choose an on-campus Bama Dining facility to enjoy a meal and engage in dialogue. *Any off-campus dining facilities will not be refunded*
As the student, you will utilize a guest meal or dining dollars (up to $16) to cover the faculty or staff member’s meal. Following the meal, you will complete a reimbursement form to be reimbursed for the faculty or staff member’s meal.
Enjoy the conversation! If you need ideas for topics, consider asking about professional experiences, favorite part of work or academic studies, and advice for any situations being faced.
If faculty or staff member has feedback of the experience, email fye@ua.edu.
Once the reimbursement is complete, Bama Dining will credit the student for the meal swipe or dining dollars (up to $16) used to cover the faculty or staff member’s meal at an on-campus Bama Dining facility only.
