SSA Freeloader Café

Author: mgoldin  //  Category: cafe, pressrelease

The Sociology Student Association is proud to announce…

SSA Freeloader Café
Official Grand Opening next Monday 3/4/08 – with Donuts!

When? Monday March 3,  8am-4pm – and all day every Monday this school year when class is in session

Where? Condon 2nd Floor – outside the Sociology Advising Office 223J

What? Coffee, hot cocoa, apple cider, and snacks

Why? Because there is no coffee in Condon! Also to force otherwise shy or reclusive students, grad students, faculty and staff to say Hi to each other. And to share your favorite Sociologic theories. But more on that in a moment.
We’ve had lots of folks ask us to start a café, and being suckers for public opinion, we’ve done it. We think this will be a nice service for all folks who come through Condon, and we’d love to see people chatting and making new friends in the department.
Speaking of Sociology…Freeloader café would like to feature a different Sociology theory every week – kind of like how Sesame Street is brought to you by a different letter of the alphabet every time, remember? Send your suggestions to: socassoc@u.washington.edu. We are named after the Second Order Free Rider problem, after all…

How? Suggested donation of 50 Cents per item helps us to defray our costs!
All run by hardworking Sociology Student Association officers, members, and funds. Don’t be a free rider.
After a successful trial run this week, we are proud to announce that SSA Café will launch next week, the first Monday in March.
For our grand opening, we’ll even have donuts! Let us know what you’d like to see served here (within reason of course – email socassoc@u.washington.edu).
