THE STAFF OF SALISBURY DINIG SERVICES

Salisbury University Dining Services- Meet the Staff

           The Salisbury University Dining Services is composed of many different entities and

employees that allow the office to run smoothly on a day-to-day basis. They are in the office

during spring break, during the summer, and even when the classes are not in session to ensure

that our dining system remains among the best in the nation.

           Owen Rosten, Director of Dining Services/University Dining Services—Owen Rosten

became an employee of Salisbury University in 2015 as the Director. Rosten comes from a

decorated background in university food services. He has managed a large region of college and

university food distributions and has a healthy background in retail management experience.

Rosten’s goal for Dining Services is to ensure that the students have the best dining experience

possible. He is responsible for many of the initiatives and campaigns put through Dining

-more-
Services and Catering. For example, he encouraged a campus-wide push for students to become

employees of Catering Services to promote a fun and exciting workplace for students. 

Sommer Dunlevy, Marketing Specialist—Sommer is a Marketing Department of one for

the Dining Services, with the help of several student workers and practicum/internship students.

She is responsible for the promotion of all food and event promotions. Each time there is a

special menu in the Commons, or a new drink featured at Cool Beans, and the promotion of meal

plans via brochures, the Marketing Department is responsible for all the graphic and promotional

items to be published. This includes posters made, social media posts, and updates on the Dining

Services website. 

Mark Andrews, the Commons Dining Manager—Mark is responsible for making sure all

food, preparation, and employee relations run smoothly in the Commons dining hall. Andrews

has also assumed the role of becoming the face of University Dining Services. He creates content

to be posted on the University Dining Services social media, mainly the Instagram account

(@Eatatsalisburyu). Andrews has also played a key role in the development of menu items in the

Commons to accommodate the students’ needs and requests. The Sabrosa station has become

increasingly popular thanks to the Mark’s efforts to apply the feedback the Dining Services

department receives to make the overall dining experience among the national rankings.
