On Tuesday, April 22, Gourmet Dining hosted Customer Appreciation Day on the Miron Student Center (MSC) Patio. The day was filled with beautiful, warm weather and fun activities for students to enjoy.
As students walked towards the patio, they were greeted by music, a photobooth, and tents of drinks and foods to taste and enjoy.
Iman Warachi, an Economics major and freshman from Plainfield, stumbled upon the event and communicated how much she enjoyed the outside celebration.
“I heard music playing outside from the academic building, so I thought I might as well come and hear and see what this is about. Everything is really good, and I’m having a good time so far!”
Attendees were able to enjoy sweet treats like ice cream to cool down and play games like hula hoops and corn toss.
Sprite and Monster Energy were two of the companies that had display tents to give away merchandise to students.
Cheyenne Gorman, a Psychology major and sophomore from Hillsborough, expressed her love for Monster Energy drinks.
“I love it! I love the free Monsters, I’m a big Monster girl, I love them. The environment is so nice, and it is so nice outside. I’m just loving it all together.”
Gourmet Dining also offered cheesesteak, chips, and beverages for students to indulge in as they walked around the patio and took pictures, making more memories with their friends and classmates.
Camryn Smith, a Criminal Justice major and freshman from Old Bridge, shared her excitement for the warm weather.
“It’s so fun, and the fact that it’s nice outside makes it even better. The cheesesteaks are really good, the ice cream is really good, and the Monsters are really good. It’s just a really good vibe outside, and it’s a really nice day for this.”
Gourmet Dining’s Nutrition Services was present, offering samples of a delicious Creamsicle Smoothie. Students could also pedal a bike to blend the healthy beverage. Recipe cards of the smoothie and information regarding the dietitian services on campus were also available for students to take.
As the event settled down, attendees settled into big groups all along Cougar Walk, dancing, eating, and chatting away. It was a wonderful way to end a busy school day for the majority of Kean students.
Ramon Barber, a History major and freshman from Morristown, added his own show of enthusiasm for the event.
“I had a great time! It was a beautiful day to do this, and events like these are cool because I like to socialize.”
Customer Appreciation Day was a great way to enjoy the Kean campus one more time before the end the of the semester. Students had the chance to take pleasure in the moment and make more memories.
