Ohio Valley University announces partnership with Hallmark Management
What’s for dinner? While most students carefully consider the options between class size, dorm life, and academics when selecting higher education. Some, factor in the meals they will receive when they attend. Ohio Valley University is delighted to announce its partnership with Hallmark Management Services to meet the needs of our students.
Hallmark, a company based out of Columbus, Ohio, has worked with various colleges and universities for over 45 years to ensure the development of customizable dining plans. “Campuses are continually developing and adapting to student preference. As your partner in dining, we understand the critical role we play in the student collegiate experience. Our dining programs are focused on delivering high student participation and high retention rates and value. Relationships are critical to our own long-term growth and success.”
Client testimonials reveal nothing but praise for Hallmark’s leadership and employees who embody four core values within every facet of service: honest, hardworking, hospitable, and hungry. The company offers a variety of avenues to model their values, such as catering, senior-living, and workspaces. Regarding students, their mission is clear, “Feeding Today’s Students to Become Tomorrow’s Leaders.”
In preparation for a new partnership with Ohio Valley University, John Suckow, Operations Corporate Director expressed the following: “We could not be more excited to have been selected to serve the OVU students, faculty, staff and community. We believe our company values, dining programs and success with smaller private universities makes this new relationship a perfect fit. It is clear that OVU’s leadership has a vision for the future. The dining program has a vital role in that vision and the life of a campus, and we are excited and ready to join in that journey together. Our transition team is working to make a quick transition to build out our onsite teams and get the dining room and retail coffee program ready for the start of the semester. We are up to the challenge and know that our focus is initially on ensuring a safe dining experience for everyone. From there we plan to add to the program in the weeks and months to come. It’s an honor to join you in saying TOGETHER, we are OVU.”
