ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app Dining Services provides the KOVE station in the HUB Dining Hall. The KOVE is our kosher + vegan option on campus and offers kosher food during the week. The special connections made at the KOVE, coupled with the “favorite meals” students enjoy, make the KOVE a very popular place to eat on campus.
Head kosher chef TJ Smith and cook Kelli Lombardo prepare KOVE meals, and the KOVE is supervised by Rabbi Marley Weiner, director of the Asbell Center for Jewish Life. The KOVE closes for Jewish holidays that require observance. The KOVE closes weekly from Friday dinner through Saturday in observance of the Jewish Sabbath.
