Dr. Crystal Sellers

Dr. Crystal Sellers has been singing gospel music practically her whole life, starting at the church founded by her grandfather in her native Columbus.

Renovation brings fresh, "green" focus to university campus restaurant

Posted by Fred Steiner on August 21, 2010 - 8:29am

Bluffton University is taking a fresh approach to dining services at its renovated campus eatery in Marbeck Center.

The Commons at Marbeck-renamed to reflect a shift in focus to a restaurant atmosphere-features freshly prepared vegetables and other food at six "dining destinations" that together provide a varied menu.

The Commons is also going "green," both as a trayless facility-an effort to reduce food waste and water usage-and by introducing Aspretto, a fair trade-based coffee and tea brand by Sodexo, the company that manages Bluffton's dining services.
