Cook

Housing and Dining Services is a large,
complex, self-operated auxiliary department employing about 1,000 full and part-time staff. As a group, we share the desire to provide

The Princeton Review’s ” The Best 390 Colleges ” has ranked K-State’s campus food at No. 14 in its 2025 issue. It’s pretty rare for campus
meals to be made from scratch on location, and our students appreciate that!
