Illinois State University's food chief retiring

NORMAL - The director of campus dining services at Illinois State University is retiring after a decade in the position.

Arlene Hosea oversees 150 full-time employees and 950 student workers. She will retire at the end of the month after working at the school for 24 years. She became the school's interim food director in 2003 and was named permanently to the position a year later.

Associate Director of Campus Dining Services Dianne Feasley tells the (Bloomington) Pantagraph that Hosea has transformed the university's dining experience. The changes Hosea has brought to the university during her tenure include putting more of an emphasis on healthy foods such as lean grilled fish and whole grains.
