The Issue

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Sandburg Dining Hall used to be a place where students could enjoy the simple, comforting pleasure of making their own waffles.

This staple breakfast item was not just about food but community, allowing students a moment of joy and creativity before starting their academic day. Unfortunately, the beloved waffle maker has been removed from the dining hall, leaving a waffle-shaped hole in the hearts of students.

The removal of the waffle maker has not only disappointed countless waffle enthusiasts but has also limited the variety and personalization of breakfast options available. For many, this change disrupts a cherished morning ritual and affects their dining experience. A seemingly small decision has had a notable impact on student morale and satisfaction.

Reintroducing the waffle maker would not only restore a beloved dining option but would also acknowledge and respect student preferences and feedback. Only by listening to the needs and desires of the student body can the dining services enhance student engagement and happiness.

We call upon the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee administration and the dining services to prioritize student requests and ensure that the dining hall caters not only to nutritional needs but also to the comfort and enjoyment of its patrons.

Let's bring back the waffle maker and once again make breakfast at Sandburg a delightful and inclusive experience.

Let your voice be heard by signing this petition and help bring back a breakfast favorite to our campus!
