New student-run coffee bar: Java Junction

The beginnings of a campus entrepreneurial venture are fully brewing. In a unique partnership, Goshen College Student Life and Business departments are offering students the opportunity to manage a new coffee bar – the "central focus of the connector" between Yoder, Kratz and Miller residence halls, according to Bill Born, vice president for student life.

The new space creates "a late-night option for students with a variety of menu options," Born said, as well as the possibility for a performance area. The new connector structure encompasses floor lounges, study rooms, a laundry room, kitchens and a game area.

Born said, "the coffee bar is a convenient and fun gathering space for students and helps create a space to enhance community life that is easily accessible to the students living on campus, particularly in the three largest GC residence halls."
