The DuckCard and your selected meal plan are for your personal use only and are not transferable to anyone else. • Do not remove food from the dining hall for later consumption. • Do not borrow or remove plates, glasses and silverware from the dining hall. • Did you know almost 40 percent of the food in the United States ends up as uneaten waste?
