Daphne Budin had never eaten non-kosher meat before coming to Syracuse University.
But because of the limited options in SU’s dining halls, Budin, a sophomore human development and family science major, has since started eating meat that isn’t kosher. Most dining halls don’t serve kosher foods, and Budin’s allergies can make finding suitable options even harder.
“When I would go into the dining hall, there were just not so many options,” Budin said. “It kind of just became a routine that I started to eat ‘unkosher’ meat.”

Some students have already received their vaccine from the Barnes Center at The Arch or from places off-campus, like the New York State Fairgrounds Exposition Center.

Since New York expanded vaccine eligibility, Syracuse University students have been able to get the COVID-19 vaccine both on and off campus.
New York state opened eligibility to residents 16 or older on Tuesday. SU began administering 1,600 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine last week and will continue to obtain more doses from the state.
Cooper Dawson, a sophomore international relations major, got his vaccine through the Barnes Center at The Arch on Thursday. Dawson filled out a form indicating he wanted to be contacted when SU received vaccine doses and was contacted shortly after to set up an appointment, he said.
