Shon Legg in Coffman Union next to Panda Express
Meet Shon Legg

Hear that voice ringing out in the Coffman Memorial Union food court? That’s Dining Services employee Shon Legg letting you know that your order is ready.

Shon comes from the restaurant business. “I like to stay busy, and I like to make people smile,” he says. His job at the University is the first union job he’s ever had.

A Chicago native, Shon moved to Minnesota 25 years ago to be closer to family. “They all came up here–my mom, sisters, aunts, cousins, nieces, and nephews.”

When asked if students get stressed around finals, he nods his head. “I give them a little more space. But really, I just treat students the way I want to be treated.”

You can find Shon bouncing between Panda Express and Chick-fil-A. Someday he’d also love to work on the Landcare team at the U of M too!
