A ribbon cutting was held Wednesday to celebrate Falcon Foods, Montevallo's new dining service program.
After the end of a 10 year contract with the previous foodservice provider Sodexo, the university was looking to upgrade their dining services. Out of three options and a in-depth vetting process, the university chose Chartwells, a subsidiary of international company, Compass Group.
Many changes have been brought on by the new relationship. One of the major changes is the newly updated dining space in Anna Irvin Dining Hall. In addition, Moe's Southwest Grill has replaced World of Wings in Farmer Hall, and Carmichael Library has added Olo Sushi and Outtakes Cuisine in addition to Ollies.

With many students expressing dissatisfaction with Sodexo in the past, the university listened to what the students had to say. Dr. John Stewart, president of University of Montevallo, believes the new relationship with Chartwells and its Falcon Foods program will encourage students to stay on campus for their meals.
"I've noticed an increase in the quality of food," Dr. Stewart said. "And of the faculty, staff, and students, particularly who I ask, I don't think I've heard maybe one or two negative comments."
