Hospitality students adapt to COVID-19 changes to safely serve food
DeKALB – A quantity food production class at NIU, also known as Hospitality 320, is cooking, serving and selling their fresh food from noon to 1 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday until April 15 at the Depot C-Store in the Holmes Student Center.
The students are broken up into smaller groups to practice better social distancing habits and meals are sold to-go, said John Boswell, instructor and director of Retail Dining. Students are broken up into four groups and have to make four meals throughout the semester for the class.

DeKALB – The Student Government Association Senate unanimously confirmed Brenna McConnell, sophomore finance major with a marketing minor, as an SGA Supreme Court justice.
Supreme court justices in SGA operate similarly to the federal Supreme Court, McConnell said. Whenever there is a gray area or a case the Senate moves up, the supreme court hears it. They do not meet as frequently as the Senate.
McConnell is very involved but said her experiences led her to be able to separate her personal life and work-life very well.
“I’m very passionate about SGA’s mission statement, which is that not only every student is heard, but heard fairly,” McConnell said. “With current events, I think it’s so, so important that biases are left at the door, and you listen to the facts, hear each person, and you don’t judge them before you hear all the facts.”
