Strategies to help students cope with exam week? Fueling for success is hosted by the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Chancellor’s late-night breakfast, an annual special event that students look forward to every year! Students took a break from studies to enjoy homestyle breakfast favorites, a build your own omelette station, and a mock mimosa bar served by our happy professors and administrative staff pictured here.  But, it was the highly anticipated Scotty’s, a new chicken concept, that took center stage where students got to sample the all-chicken line up including blueberry chicken sliders, mac & chicken wraps, a habanero chicken sandwich, honey garlic chicken sandwich and chicken tenders, to name a few! More to come on Scotty’s in August…Have a great summer all!    #latenightbreakfast #chickenconcepts #diningexperience #collegeexperience #homestylefavorites #omelettestation #funfoodevents #studybreaks
