With fanfare – and flavor! – Holy Family University President Dr. Anne Prisco joined Nick Bayer, founder & CEO of Saxbys, and the University’s inaugural Student Cafe Executive Officer (SCEO) senior management and marketing major Beth Montgomery in the cutting of the ribbon to open the newest location of Saxbys at the Northeast Philadelphia campus.

The new cafe is part of the Saxbys Experiential Learning Platform (the Saxbys E.L.P.) where students exclusively run the daily operation. Guests at the event were treated to samples of the Cold Brew Collection and grilled cheese sandwiches as part of the festivities.

“We began thinking almost two years ago about what a Saxbys would mean for Holy Family University,” University President Dr. Anne Prisco said. “Since we are so focused on experiential learning, we recognize the dynamism that Saxbys brings to our campus. We are thrilled to have Saxbys as a partner. What a wonderful way for our students to gain some experience and income, while also being able to stay on campus. We were reminded that Saxbys does not call our students customers, they call them guests. It’s the same reflection that we have as a university. They are our students and our guests.”
