Campus Dining is excited to announce a series of initiatives and brand-new dining options aimed at faculty and staff members, in an effort to make dining on campus as easy (and delicious!) as possible for all University community members.

A refreshed and remodeled Neporent Café and Dining Room, located on the first floor of Dineen Hall, fully reopened to the campus community in October. Neporent offers two dining options: grab-and-go service, which is offered throughout its operating hours, and, NEW this academic year, table service dining, which is offered every weekday between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Guests visiting the Dining Room during that time will be required to wear business casual dress.
Campus Dining decided to expand dining service at Neporent this year to fill the gap left by the closure of Sitrus on the Hill in the former Sheraton Hotel. The made-to-order menu includes appetizers, entrees and desserts, all prepared fresh on-site in the café kitchen. Campus Dining executive chef Rick Leonardo crafted the Dining Room’s menu to match many of the items faculty members had come to love at Sitrus.
Guests visiting from across campus are welcome to park in the Raynor parking lot across from Dineen Hall. The building is accessible to anyone with a SUID card; visitors must tap their card at any entrance to access the building.
As all dining and vending locations are now cashless. Establishing a ’CUSE Cash account is an easy and convenient way to pay at almost every point of sale on campus. ’CUSE Cash is a declining balance cash account that provides access to food, goods and services on campus. A ’CUSE Cash account can be established by any member of the Syracuse University community, including faculty and staff. The funds are loaded via the GET app or website and are used via the SUID card.
As a bonus, using ’CUSE Cash at on-campus dining facilities provides a 10% discount on every purchase (not to be used in combination with existing discounts). Visit the participating locations page on the Housing, Meal Plan, and I.D. Card Services website for the most up-to-date list of locations that accept ’CUSE Cash.
After re-opening last year as a buffet lunch and catered events venue and undergoing a significant renovation, the Inn Complete is returning to its campus pub roots. The University’s former ski lodge will officially open for the 2024-25 year on Thursday, Oct. 31, with a completely revamped menu featuring made-to-order small bites, handhelds and flatbreads.
Faculty and staff are invited to visit for Happy Hour, when the pub will offer a rotating selection of wine and beer, plenty of board games and cozy spots to sit by its fireplace. The Inn will open at 3:30 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays to welcome the after-work crowd. Its kitchen will remain open until 9:30 p.m. each night.
In addition to its pub nights, the Inn Complete will continue to host catered events and departmental gatherings. To book an event, please contact the Catering Department at 315.443.3605 to learn more.
