A new student-led, student-run cafe -- the product of a SUNY Oswego business class -- will hold its grand opening celebration in Rich Hall at 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday, April 11.
Called the Rich N' Pour Cafe, the space represents a boost to student entrepreneurship experiences, a service for those in Rich Hall and beyond, and a campus-community partnership.
Students in the Management 444 class represent a board of directors who have made decisions on the big and little touches in the space that replaces the Wall Street Cafe, which closed in 2022, in the Rich Hall atrium lobby. Regular offerings will include coffee and other drinks, baked goods, a relaxing ambiance and a vibrant meeting place.
Irene Scruton -- the assistant dean of the School of Business and director of MBA programs -- teaches the course with Oswego alumnus and community entrepreneur Ed Alberts serving as senior advisor. Scruton offered thanks to Auxiliary Services, led by Stephen McAfee, for being such willing partners in helping develop plans.
Those attending the April 11 grand opening will have the opportunity to sample menu items while meeting the student board and baristas.
Watch for more information on the cafe, and the students who made it happen, in a future edition of Oswego Today.
