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:
A student action research team is in the process of desiging a sustainability cafe that will be housed in the new Health and Learning Center (LEED Gold projected) opening in Fall 2011.
The sustainability cafe will be both a model of sustainability in terms of the food served as well as the cultural outlet it provides. Performers, poets, artists, and musicians will be encouraged to use the sustainability cafe as a cutlural "hub" on campus. The students are also exploring having a local artist create furniture for the cafe made from food service wooden pallets that would otherwise be landfill waste.
