Campus ChampionEach day, Chris Pecone, assistant director of dining services, supports his staff and ensures that thousands of people on campus enjoy delicious meals in a timely manner. Since 2012, Chris has contributed to Moonlight Breakfast, a free late-night meal to kick off finals. More than 20 volunteers will help make the May 11 event a success, with Chris leading it again and likely arriving home as late as 3 a.m. The extra effort is worth it, he says, because it offers a chance to support students in the semester’s final week.
