Common Questions
What if pieces are not returned?Aggieware is inventoried by the
Dining Commons staff once the kits are returned. They inventory the kits and the cost of any missing pieces will be charged to the residents of the community who returned the kit.
Forms are printed on FSC-certified, 100% recycled paper and are recycled after inventory

Common Questions
What if staff need more pieces? Each Resident Advisor will receive one of each kit; in partner
communities you can use two kits to increase your numbers. If that is still not enough borrow a kit from another Resident Advisor, change the name on the inventory sheet, and return a clean kit to that Resident Advisor once you receive it from the Dining Commons. If you are unable to borrow another RA’s kit, the second option is to check out additional kits from the Dining Commons.

Common Questions
Why Cambro and Windsor? Windsor spoons and forks are identical to the silverware used
in the Dining Commons. It is light, durable and, because we use it both for Aggieware and the Dining Commons, easily replaceable.
Cambro dishware and containers were already used on campus for Whole Earth Festival. The plates are lightweight, durable, can be run through an industrial dishwasher, and, most importantly, made in the USA by a company with strong sustainability practices.
