Student Kitchen

Announcements

  • The Mobley Student Kitchen will be open and unlocked during Ramadan for students to use (March 10-April 9, 2024). Reservations are not possible during this time.
  • As a trial period, we will keep the kitchen open and unlocked through the remainder of the spring term, dependent on the Winthrop community collectively keeping the kitchen clean. A messy, uncared-for kitchen places an unfair burden on our wonderful custodial team.
