There are two locations to view so be sure to select the one you are interested

The Hilltop Cafe is our full-service dining hall that offers students and
guests a wide variety of food, from creative vegan entrees, seasonal entrees
and salads to house-made pizza and fresh pasta!
Zamora's Market offers popular menu items freshly made, conveniently
packaged, and ready to go. Stop by for a specialty coffee, a midday snack on
your way to class, or a protein pack post workout!

fall athletics pre-season, New Student Orientation, holidays, breaks or special
