Dining Advisory Board

The Dining Advisory Board (DAB) officially represents student interests related to Northeastern University dining services. The Board was created in response to the No Hungry Huskies campaign and is a diverse set of students who are working together with administration and to continuously improve the dining experience on campus for students.

If you have any questions about the recent meal plan reform and the part that SGA played in it, please visit our FAQ or contact sgaCampusAffairs@northeastern.edu.
