Today's Point was written by Professor Maria Brincker of Philosophy and CLA Senate Moderator

Dear All,    

The topic today is university dining and the question of supporting and making space for faculty and staff to be nourished and thrive at UMB. And as the CLA senate moderator and committed “space fighter,” I have been invited to provide some thoughts and updates both from the past and present situation here on campus and from the galaxy of dreams.
