Finalists interview for dining post

by Anne Krapfl

Two finalists interviewed on campus this week for the director's post in ISU Dining. They are Stephen Edwards, director of board operations for university dining at North Carolina State University, Raleigh; and Fred Wencel, a resident district manager for the Chartwells/Compass Group working in dining services at St. Louis University, Missouri. Their interviews included a one-hour public forum, during which each discussed his vision for campus dining services.

Former ISU Dining director Jon Lewis resigned last September and associate vice president for student affairs Todd Holcomb has been serving as interim director. Global Hospitality, Los Angeles, is assisting a campus selection committee with the national search.
