Crogman Campus Eatery is not just a café; it’s a hub where you can have long conversations, adapt, adjust, and get to know what is now your extended family. Many people opt for food delivery services like Door Dash, and I’ve done that myself at times. However, there’s nothing like the experience at the café, or the buffet as I like to call it. The café is open late, until 10 p.m. at the latest, and is staffed by the kindest and most attentive people I’ve ever met.

She has served on the board for seven years and is the first Black woman to hold the position of board chair.
