I hope everyone and their families are well and staying healthy. I can’t wait till we get through this and have all my colleagues back on campus, especially the students, who I enjoy cooking for so much!

It’s been my honor to be here and help feed those who are on campus with us. 

For our students on campus, today I am preparing one of my favorite dishes that is quick and easy.

Fresh Herbs Marinated Butterfly Chicken Breast. Served with a fresh diced mozzarella, tomato, olive, and capers, extra virgin olive oil, and fresh basil salad.

Serve with rosemary roasted Yukon gold potatoes.

A message to our community

As we acclimate to the new ways on campus, I realize so much has changed in just a few days. Some of the things that gave me the most joy, such as meeting with our students, talking with you during special events, or meeting my colleagues can no longer happen in the same way, at least for the time being. Along with my team, I wanted to think of ways to keep our connections alive, continue to show our care, and engage with our community. That being said, we are starting a new series called, Care.Connection.Community through which we will share messages with you.

Stay healthy and be well,
Smitha
