Huge thanks to Mike for coming to the rescue! I hadn't reviewed our catering contract closely enough, and didn't notice it didn't list the vegetarian option for our student meeting. Mike was kind enough to offer to work with his staff to quickly put together a plate of the awesome veggie wraps for our students. Mike's help exemplifies why I always appreciate working with Panther Catering!

Kaity is always willing to help out students and faculty any time they need anything. On top of that, she always makes sure the Chemistry Stockroom and labs run smoothly. The CHEM dept is lucky to have her!
