Coffee venue opens following steamy debate

Pura Vida coffee, opened its doors to the public this week, replacing Auntie Anne's Pretzels. Students fought last year for the fair trade coffee shop to be put in MGC instead of a Starbucks. According to www.theeagleonline.com, polls by RHA and The Eagle Online consistently show students favor Pura Vida. Pura Vida joins eight other on campus options to find a cup of joe.

"I went to Pura Vida today," said James Worsdale, a freshman in the College of Arts and Sciences. "I think it will compete with the Dav, which isn't necessarily a bad thing"


Section 202 hosts Connor Sturniolo and Gabrielle McNamee are joined by fellow Eagle staff member and phenomenal sports photographer, Josh Markowitz. Follow along as they discuss the United Football League and the benefits it provides for the world of professional football.
