Does the institution have a student-run enterprise, such as a cafe, through which students gain sustainable business skills?:
A brief description of the enterprise:
Students at Crossroad's Coffee aim to be a campus leader in local and global community outreach services, innovative entertainment programming and in sustainably managed facilities designed to foster community development, out of class learning and social interaction. Additionally, Student Programs strive to have a connection with every student, seek to strengthen academic and community partnerships, seek additional programming resources and inspire students to become change agents in their communities.
Crossroads Coffee offers the best varieties of coffee from Central and South America. the student-run enterprise offers the world's first family of shade grown coffees - Sanctuary Coffees™. Sanctuary sources only arabica beans grown on shade-tree coffee plantations along the migratory flight path from North America to South America. Because the coffee is grown in the shade, the beans mature more slowly, therefore producing a sweeter, more elegant cup. Not only do shaded plantations produce outstanding coffees, they also preserve a habitat for millions of migratory songbirds.
