(Shepherd's Dining Services wins national award)
Shepherdstown, WV--The Shepherd University Dining Services has received the 2005 Bronze Award in the residence hall theme dinner category of the Loyal E. Horton Dining Awards contest from the National Association of College and University Food Services (NACUFS).
The Taste of West Virginia meal, served on March 8 to Shepherd students, won the award. The dinner was a tribute to the culture and cuisine of West Virginia featuring recipes and displays from the eight geographic regions of the state. The Speakeasy Boys and the Jefferson County 4-H Dancing Clovers performed at the meal and the Appalachian studies class assisted with decorations for the event.
