Indulge yourself with various trinkets to fill your stocking while you enjoy a nice cup of coffee complimentary of Java pending a purchase of $5 or more. Don't miss this!

The Skip Stop commuter organization will use the proceeds of this fundraiser to improve the commuter lounge in order to better service the 200 plus commuters at Barnard. Although the commuter lounge at Brooks Hall is currently a shared space, this fundraiser will provide the funds needed to make the commuter lounge a more comfortable, better supplied, and therefore more enjoyable place for commuters to stay in while on campus. This being said, please come out to Java City on 11/25 to support the holiday sale and fundraiser of Skip Stop!
