Saxbys To Open Cafe At Rowan College At Burlington County

Philadelphia-based Saxbys is continuing to expand in South Jersey. The coffee shop that already has locations in Haddonfield and at Rowan University is looking to add a student-run café at Rowan College at Burlington County this spring, the college announced.

The café at the college’s Mount Laurel campus will run via The Saxbys Experiential Learning Platform, in which students will be able to earn college credit, a salary and real-life business experience all at the same time.

Rowan College at Burlington County joins Rowan University, Penn State University and Drexel University as part of the program. Each café has a Student Café Executive Officer (SCEO).

The SCEO will manage all aspects of the café including team development, community outreach initiatives and the café's profit and loss statement, receiving a semester of college credit, a competitive salary and a bonus in addition to gaining invaluable management experience.

The first Rowan College at Burlington County SCEO will be announced soon, officials said.

"The only thing better than a warm cup of coffee is getting that brew from a college student who is earning college credit, an income and developing the entrepreneurial skills they will need to succeed in the modern business world," RCBC President Dr. Michael A. Cioce said. "I raise my mug to Saxbys for developing this innovative learning module that aligns so well with Rowan College at Burlington County's mission and classroom to career focus. Kudos to everyone at Saxbys and RCBC who have worked for the past several months to create this awesome opportunity for students."

“We’ve always been drawn to innovative institutions for our Experiential Learning Platform,” Saxbys Founder & CEO Nick Bayer said. “From their ground-breaking 3+1 degree program to their uncompromising focus to student success outcomes, RCBC is an amazing partner as we collectively transform lives through a one of a kind learning experience.”
