BALTIMORE, July 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Answering the call from the campus community and student leaders for expanded meal options, modern conveniences and amenities, Morgan State University announces a new contract with Gaithersburg, MD-based dining services provider, SodexoMAGIC, LLC. The five-year, nearly $45-million agreement will bring facility upgrades and renovations, technological integrations, a variety of dining options and food locations, student-friendly meal plans and the promise of an overall elevated dining experience beginning with the Fall 2020 Semester.
