“As an experiential learning company, we're committed to empowering students to take charge of their futures through development of the leadership skills required to succeed in modern business environments,” said Nick Bayer, Founder & CEO of Saxbys. “Saxbys is meeting 鶹 Family students exactly where they're at by providing opportunities to complete their required internships without even stepping foot off-campus,” said Bayer. In addition to the SCEO role, Saxbys is also looking for Team Members to help make their newest location a destination where everyone feels they belong. The only requirement? That students bring their most authentic selves to the cafe and community.

Anne Prisco, Ph.D., President of 鶹 noted, “We are delighted to welcome Saxbys to 鶹 Family’s Philadelphia campus. Saxbys’ mission aligns beautifully with everything 鶹 Family is about, and their Experiential Learning Platform will enable our students to gain critical skills right here on campus. And, of course, the menu is the draw. I’m certain the Go Getter® Espresso will be a hit with our students! We look forward to introducing Saxbys to our campus community.”
