F&A Q&A
This week's Q&A is with John Arnold, head of dining experiences in University Centers.

What do you enjoy most about your job?
I enjoy the preparation that is involved in creating a meal or event, the interaction with staff and guests, and the opportunity to provide both physical and mental nourishment for our guest’s well-being.
What is my favorite activity to do in Eau Claire?
I enjoy a summer afternoon bicycle ride to music in the park.
What was your first job?
My first job was, no surprise, in food service. When I was fourteen, I got a summer job working as a dishwasher at a fine dining restaurant.
