The Coffee Lab is just one of many examples of how we do things differently.
At North Central, we provide the key ingredients to ensure your future is the perfect blend of success and direction.
Coffee beans are proudly grown by indigenous small-plot Guatemalan farmers. Did you know that North Central pays farmers above market price? Cardinals understand that social impact is a key ingredient to a sustainable and ethical business.
Once harvested, coffee beans start their long journey to campus. We like to say these beans are CardinalBound.

My favorite part is the students—you never know who you might see in the Lab. There’s something for students from all majors.
Business
Chemistry
You see, Cardinals and coffee beans actually have a lot in common. We may come from different places and have different stories, but when blended together, we create a bold and unique impact on the world around us.
Cardinals are also stirring up bold ideas outside the Lab. Our student organization, Enactus, helps entrepreneurs, like the coffee farmers, become financially sustainable. Students manage the whole coffee process from farmer to consumer.
