Dear Faculty and Staff, I hope you are doing well. I wanted to share a quick update regarding the coffee provided in the Interaction Room. The cost of the coffee grounds we currently purchase — Sarasota Signature House Blend — has increased significantly. As we review our ongoing expenses, we would appreciate your feedback on how you would like us to proceed. Specifically, we would like to know: * Would you object to switching to a different coffee brand in order to identify a more cost‑effective option, or * Do you prefer that we continue with our current brand despite the increased cost? If you are open to a change, we would also welcome any suggestions: * Are there particular brands you would recommend we consider? * Are there any brands you would prefer we avoid? Please feel free to share your thoughts by replying to this email by March 13, 2026. Your input will help guide our decision. Thank you for taking a moment to provide feedback, and we appreciate your understanding as we work to manage costs responsibly.
