Student Well-Being
As part of our commitment to enhancing student well-being, the Free Coffee Project is specifically designed to support students who study late into the evenings and overnight in our 24/7 library. We recognize that many students rely on these extended hours to focus on their studies, complete assignments, and prepare for exams. However, studying during these hours can be challenging, especially when energy levels start to dip and few to no options are available for a quick refreshment. That’s where our Free Coffee Project comes in. We aim at providing students with a free cup of coffee or Tea to students during these times. By offering a simple yet impactful resource, we help students stay energized, focused, and connected, ultimately contributing to their academic success and overall happiness.
