So I graduated 2 years ago and this sadly isn’t surprising
When New South dining hall was open everyone would get food poisoning at some point during the year.
Then they opened Leo’s and we all still managed to get food poisoning about once a year.
FINALLY someone is figuring out that this is happening.

I don’t mean to make as though this is an amusing matter…but we tried to tell the administration about this for YEARS but no one listened to us.
Maybe someone will finally listen.

Dear Members of the Georgetown University Community,

Please be advised that on Thursday October 2nd at approximately 2:30 AM, a norovirus was seen walking from Prospect through Village A. Suspect was wearing a dark coat with the collar up and appeared to be carrying a briefcase. DPS canvassed the area with negative results. Any students with information regarding this incidence are encouraged to contact DPS immediately.

Art, currently the University is collaborating in an investigation with the D.C. Department of Health to discover the source of these illnesses – they’re conducting both food safety and environmental inspections. Dr. Todd Olson (VP of student affairs at Georgetown), Dr. Glasser (from Georgetown hospital’s Emergency Department) and Dr. Davies-Cole (from the D.C. Department of Health) were answering questions at the press conference yesterday. The investigations are in part looking into both food prepared on site and food delivered from outside vendors, so maybe it’s airborne, or maybe Leo’s and the Key Bridge Marriott use a similar outside vendor? Either way, I’m sure Dr. Olson or Dr. Davies-Cole (or someone from the D.C. Dept. of health) would be a good place to start.

I am a Georgetown parent, and my wife and I visited our daughter on Saturday and Sunday. My wife became ill overnight Sunday, and almost passed out in the hotel. We did not eat on campus, but we did eat at the Key Bridge Marriott on Sunday. Therefore this is possibly airborne, not foodborne.

To whom would we report this?

Facts,
If you’re referring to Max, it was indicated to me that Max was aware his roommates were disclosing his condition to me. If I find that’s not the case, I’d be surprised, but we’ll correct it immediately.
If you’re referring to Budd, he seems to have been mistaken about the facts of the food in Center Grill, but that’s what he said.
