Incoming Huskers attending New Student Enrollment this summer will enjoy a special lunchtime option: a Runza meal served as part of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s orientation experience.
The limited-time offering is the result of a collaboration between University Housing and Dining Services, New Student Enrollment and Runza. The goal is to welcome new students and their families with a taste of a beloved Nebraska tradition.
“This is a great way to introduce students to the Husker community,” said Jenni Brost, director of New Student Enrollment. “We are excited to have Runza on campus during orientation to help create a welcoming, memorable experience for students and their guests.”
The Runza meal will be available exclusively to NSE participants during designated lunch periods. It is being offered as a short-term guest vendor experience in support of the summer orientation program.
University Housing and Dining Services regularly explores creative partnerships that enhance campus programming and student engagement. This temporary addition reflects a spirit of hospitality and connection unique to the orientation experience.
“Our dining team often features pop-up specialty meals during the academic year, but this one is special,” said Lucas Novotny, executive director of Housing and Dining Services. “It is part of orientation, and it highlights a local favorite that resonates with our campus and the broader Nebraska community. It is a fun way to welcome new Huskers and make their first experience here even more memorable.”
