This role is responsible for designing, operating, and integrating on-campus enterprises—most notably our coffee shop, retail store, and student-run ventures —as living laboratories where students learn how businesses actually function. This role centers on hands-on business execution . Students learn by participating in inventory management, bookkeeping, product development, branding and marketing, customer experience, operations, and impact-driven decision-making.
