NEW STUDENT LAUNCH SCHEDULE

EU Launch is Evangel’s new student orientation week that precedes the beginning of classes. The goal is to prepare incoming freshmen and
transfer students for life-changing experiences by connecting them with faculty, staff, and other students. EU Launch prepares students to
succeed in their academic, spiritual, and social development while creating memories and igniting lifelong friendships.

Parents and families are welcome to attend EU Launch. Special events are scheduled for them Friday through Sunday afternoon. A detailed
schedule with times and locations will be available online in April. Students and their families are strongly encouraged to attend all
applicable events.

DINING INFORMATION

Evangel Dining Options
Resident students have three meal plan options: 10 meals, 15 meals with 75 Bonus Bucks or 20 meals with 100 Bonus Bucks for use in
the Crusader Dining Hall, The Joust, and in The Barracks coffee shop (proudly serving Starbucks coffee). Please note, food service is not
available during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring breaks.

The food service staff also works with students who have specific dietary requirements due to allergies, medically required meals, and
maintainin a gluten free diet. Are you a vegetarian? We also offer several option to meet those needs as well. Contact Joey Roberts at
robertsj@evangel.edu, 417-865-2815, ext. 7252, or see her at the Crusader Dining Hall for a consultation. If food service is unable to
accommodate a severe medical dietary need, the director may suggest other alternatives. In these rare cases, students may contact the
housing director (in Riggs Hall, 302C) to apply for a partial or full meal plan exemption.
