Ashley Poole and Melissa Mulder are Pre-Employment Transition Coordinators for Iowa Valley Business and Community Solutions.  They work with local high schools and their special education departments and students who have a documented disability.

Poole says that they sometimes do mock interviews, tour local businesses, and they also created a business atmosphere at the college.

They decided to open a coffee shop on MCC campus as there are no coffee shops on campus.  They toured Tremont to get an idea of how a coffee business runs, made a plan with the students and opened a coffee shop near DeJardin Hall.

You can reach out to Poole or Mulder to have them bring the Pop Up Coffee shop to your event.  They have flavored coffee, lattes, and lemonade.
