When Northwestern students buy coffee next academic year, they will be getting more than a caffeine rush — they will be helping farmers in third world countries make a better living.
Dining officials announced this week that Northwestern’s Evanston and Chicago campus dining halls and other on-campus vendors will offer only Seattle’s Best Fair Trade Organic coffee, which ensures farmers receive a higher living wage for the coffee they produce.
The locations exclusively offering the coffee will include Norris University Center, Tech Express, Lisa’s Cafe and all of the dining halls.
