Islands Cafe

By Pamela Dean

Islands Caf茅, 海角社区 Channel Islands鈥 (海角社区CI) main dining and campus gathering spot, normally provides 1,900 meals a day to hungry students, faculty and staff. When the University suspended all non-essential on-campus functions and implemented virtual learning, caf茅 staff quickly moved to serving take-out meals only.

鈥淲e鈥檝e transitioned Islands Caf茅 to serve all food to-go so we can safely feed our guests,鈥 explains John Lazarus, Executive Director for University Auxiliary Services (UAS). 鈥淲e closed all other UAS dining operations for that same reason and to adapt to the lack of students, faculty and staff on campus. We've also opened Town Center Market a couple of days per week to help residents of University Glen get some much needed supplies.鈥

Lazarus estimates the caf茅 will serve 125 meals a day during the closure to essential faculty and staff, and to students still living on campus.

鈥淚t's been a fast-changing situation and that's required the entire 海角社区CI community to quickly adapt to ensure we are doing all we can to support our community,鈥 Lazarus says. 鈥淯AS is honored to be able to play a small part in that.鈥
