Despite the move to online learning, Southeast Missouri State University Dining Services continue to support students and members in the local Cape Girardeau community

WHAT: As most colleges and universities move to online learning and students return home, due to COVID-19, Chartwells Dining and SEMO Dining Team have increased their focus on ways to help the local Cape Girardeau, MO community.
