Catering
Bon Appétit is the preferred food service provider of the Ragsdale Center. External caterers are allowed in all conference rooms. If an external caterer will be used, Ragsdale Center must be notified a minimum of 7 days prior to the event. External caterers do not have access to kitchen facilities on campus and are responsible for removing all trash after the catered event. It is the responsibility of the event coordinator to ensure all trash is bagged and no food is left in the room. Any additional custodial service necessary will be charged back to the event department at $30 per hour.
