NEW FOOD SERVICE DIRECTOR BEGINS TENURE AT RESIDENTIAL DINING HALLS

After a semester-long search for a food service director to lead the residential dining team, UH Dining Services has brought Mohamed Jouini on to fill the role.

When asked about his leadership style, Jouini said, �I see myself as an enabler to happiness and productivity for people that work with me, and therefore I have an emotional responsibility to them and the people who are dependent on them.�

Jouini is not only focused on improving employee engagement and satisfaction in the dining halls, he also hopes to translate that to a more satisfying customer experience.
