Coffeehouse Managers
- Aleah Sommers
General Manager
Aleah is back from a semester abroad to helm the Coffeehouse once more (she was a former manager before heading overseas); she claims to have learned a lot about coffee while over in
EuropeNew Zealand. Commonly known as the "Tea Queen" to all her worker bees, she no longer puts tea in hot water and drinks it; she prefers to put the dried leaves on sandwiches like oregano.- Erin Rouse
Personnel Manager
Erin is a writer. She was once documented as writing her entire life story out on Java Jackets that were taped together. She claims it was to prove her love for both coffee and writing.
- Susan Wu
-
Ordering Manager
Susan Wu is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. She was also the easiest to nickname: SWU. That's because she's swu-some.
- Ingrid Norbergs
-
Stocking Manager
If there ever were a picture to be taken, Ingrid will take it. Graffiti, cars, small children, you get the idea. She isn't hater, but her love/hate relationship with Adobe Illustrator sometimes consumes her.
- Halle Rasmussen
Health/Maintenance Manager
Halle is not only a brilliant KOC, she is a basketball player who will you take you to the hoop. Don't try to get in her way. She'll just jump over you.
- Stefan Goshev
Print Publicity Manager
Stefan is a South African by birth who would prefer you not to take a picture of him from the front; rather, more obscure, and--if possible--hard to recognize him. This is because he is also a government spy.
- Paul Tucker
Community Outreach and Marketing Manager
Paul played soccer up through his freshman year in high school when he decided that he no longer liked his coach. He would go on to try out the next year, successfully make the team, and then remember his dislike for the coach and quit. He would go on to do this again the next year, as well.
