The U of A community is invited to join their peers from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, April 11, at Fulbright Dining Hall, to participate in Food on the Hill's ThoughtFUL celebration, a nationwide event designed to encourage and celebrate the power of joy through self-care, mindfulness, spreading positivity and togetherness. This JoyFUL signature event was created by Chartwells Higher Education, a recognized leader in contract food service management and the U of A's food service partner (aka Food on the Hill).

Guests will be excited to know our event will feature not only delicious food but campus partners, flower bouquets, pot painting, a cotton candy machine, music, giveaways and more!
