Stony Brook, NY, August 26, 2011 - The Faculty Student Association is pleased to announce expanded service in the Stony Brook Union including Late Night Dining and weekend brunch at the Union Commons. The dining service hours are being expanded to provide additional dining options to resident students living nearby in Mendelsohn and H-Quads, as well as resident and commuter students studying in the Melville Library.

During the late night hours students can enjoy some of their favorite food stations at the Union Commons, seven days a week. Picantes Mexican, Taro 13 Asian Specialties, made-to-order sushi, Halal New York hot food entrées, UPick Salads and Charcoal’s Grill will now be open until 10:00pm. Kosher, Halal and vegetarian grab-n-go food offerings will also be available in the Union Commons and Union Deli.

A late-night menu featuring Charcoal’s Grill, Bueños Nachos Express, pizza, sandwiches, salads and baked items made fresh daily will be offered from 10:30 pm until 3:00 am at the Union Commons.

Starbucks will be open until midnight.

The Union Deli will offer made-to-order sandwiches until 11:00 pm. Weekend brunch will be offered both Saturday and Sunday from 10:30 am-3:00 pm at the Union Commons.

Dining services formally available at Campus Connections in Benedict College have moved to the Stony Brook Union.

“We relocated the dining services at Campus Connections in Benedict College so we could offer more late night services and dining options in the Stony Brook Union – without adding to meal plan costs,” said Kevin Kelly, Executive Director, Faculty Student Association.

FSA will offer additional on-campus student employment opportunities with added flexibility so students can arrange their work schedules around class and study schedules. Students interested in dining employment, can apply online. The Faculty Student Association employs over 500 students on campus.
