Does the institution have a student-run enterprise, such as a cafe, through which students gain sustainable business skills?:
Yes

A brief description of the enterprise:

The Common Grounds coffeehouse opened in 2001 after Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE), a business student club, and the University Accord, the campus mediation, facilitation and restorative discipline service, received a grant for the project. The enterprise quickly established itself as a campus mainstay and continues to be managed by 5 students and staffed by 15 student baristas. After grant funding ended in 2009, the University's Student Life Division took the coffeehouse under its wings.
