Coffeehouse takes Fair Trade to the Serveries!
Through the efforts of student advocacy and a partnership with local roaster Katz Coffee, the Rice Coffeehouse is pleased to say Rice is now a Fair Trade Campus! Read more about the decision by Housing and Dining.
No more unsustainable, overheated sludge from the serveries for you. From here out its all about the karmalicious beans, baby.
Coffeehouse sends out a big thanks to all our supporters, Katz Coffee, and Housing and Dining for listening to the students!
Coffeehouse now offers wholly recyclable cups
We're all about sustainability!
Guess what - all our cups are recyclable!
You can (and should) recycle both the hot paper cups and the cold plastic cups (type 1 plastic, totally recyclable). The Student Center offers convenient bins for paper, plastic, glass, etc. so it's easy; they're located in the Grand Hall lobby.
Bottom line - we're all about sustainability!
Coffeehouse featured in On-Campus Hospitality
"Rice Coffeehouse: A student-run success"
Rice Coffeehouse was recently featured in On-Campus Hospitality Magazine. Excerpt:
"The operation is run like a true business. Six student managers are responsible for the different areas of the business... 'We have a full-time operations assistant and currently 31 student employees,' Mara Courtney, General Manager, said... The Coffeehouse averages between 400 and 500 customers per day, including students, graduate students, faculty, staff and members of the local Houston community."
