This program has been done for the past four years in Tarkington. It was originally the idea of a former Faculty Fellow who wanted to provide for the residents a fun, late night study break. Since there are no meals served on Sunday night, they felt that Sunday would be the best option so that students could get fed and have a break from studying. The tradition has continued in Tarkington with the Faculty Fellows as the sponsors of the program and is done in conjunction with Tarkington's Dining Services.

The Breakfast at Night Program was sponsored by the Faculty Fellows of Tarkington in collaboration with Tarkington Dining Services. The Dining Services staff gave the project to their Nutrition Intern who used this program as her project for the semester. Tarkington Dining served a hot breakfast of biscuits and gravy, hash browns, make your own waffle bar, cinnamon rolls, ice cream and juice. The breakfast was served from 9:00 - 10:30pm on a Sunday night when no regular food service is available. Only residents of Tarkington were allowed to eat and the Faculty Fellows monitored the door, cleared/cleaned tables and mingled with residents for a much needed break prior to finals.

This program has become a tradition at Tarkington hall that is popular with the residents. Residents enjoy the break from the studying and the program provides the residents with a nutritious Sunday night meal that wouldn't otherwise be available. Faculty Fellows are given the chance to interact with residents and wish them luck as they finish up their final week of classes and prepare for exams.

The program was highly successful. With 200 people in attendance, the dining room was packed during the entire program. Faculty Fellows mingled with residents and helped keep the dining room clean. We had Faculty Fellows placed at the door to ensure that only Tarkington residents entered and they turned away many residents from other buildings who wanted to eat as well. Everyone who attended was grateful for the break and enjoyed the hot food.

This program could easily be adapted to other buildings and even halls without a Faculty Fellow program. All that was needed was dining space and breakfast foods. The Faculty Fellows helped monitor the entrance to the dining room, cleaned tables and most importantly, mingled with residents. While we have the luxury of using a dining service and served hot food, this program could easily be done using breakfast foods that need little to no preparation.
