Heilman Dining Center wins national Bronze Award for Titanic commemoration dinner

The University of Richmond’s Heilman Dining Center won the Loyal E. Horton Bronze Award for Residential Dining Special Event from the National Association of College and University Food Services.

The winning event was a Titanic Memorial Dinner March 1, which honored the centennial anniversary of the fateful voyage. The Dining Center offered authentic dinner selections from Titanic menus and exhibited reproductions of the ship and other memorabilia, newspaper clippings from the period and a documentary of the disaster. 

In 2009, the Dining Center won the gold award for residential dining among medium-sized schools and the grand prize in the same category for all colleges and universities.
