Other schools, such as Florida State University, are creating positions for employees whose sole job will be to comfort students. Eva Killings worked at FSU for 43 years and was known for her upbeat attitude and friendly hugs. So, as new students arrived on campus this year, administrators appointed her the ambassador of Seminole Dining.
“I make sure everyone is happy and having a good day and enjoying their lunch or breakfast when they come in,” Killings told Forbes.
As the student population continues to grow and change, experts predict that personal, flexible support will become the new norm. And campus officials seem to be on board with this shift.
Abdou Cole, the district manager for Pitt Dining by Sodexo, best expressed this shift in an article on the university’s Pitt News: “When students speak, we listen and act.”
