##  Catering & Graduate Meal Plans 

 



 ### Catering

HUDS supports all your catering needs within the building, from a continental breakfast for 10 to a sit-down dinner for 200. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your event and design a menu to tantalize any palate. Beyond our standard catering menu, we can also work with you to design custom menus and events unique to your needs. In addition to your food requests, we can also support your larger events by coordinating rentals such as tables, chairs, and décor, as well as certified bar services.
