With the help of the Pappajohn Center, the dream of a student-run café was made a reality. Located in Buchanan Hall, the planning took place for more than a year as students learned first hand, the trials and tribulations of starting a for-profit commercial venture. The student-operators themselves must buy into the ownership of the café. When the students leave or graduate, they will sell their stock in the café to incoming entrepreneur students.
