Project created by Kaylin Land, Karen Halls, and Jamaica Lammi

Food is a topic of major interest on campus today. From groups like FireBellies to Food Truth, food is a constant topic of conversation. Everybody eats! Carleton students today are familiar with the Bon Appetit dining experience in either Burton or the Language and Dining Center. But it wasn’t always this way. We were interested in the dining experience at Carleton during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In researching student dining experiences, we were able to connect to lived experiences of students in the past and gain a better understanding of Carleton’s early student culture.  We did this through a website, which contains information on student experiences, as well as pictures, slideshows, and videos containing more information.  Have fun learning about the Carleton Dining Experience!
