Biographical / Historical

Breeze Café no longer exists; the space now holds a lounge in Pearsons Hall. Java Joint serves the purpose that the Breeze Café once did.

The Coughy Haus is the student music venue and bar on the residential side of campus, located on the south-east corner of College and Clary Street. In addition to food and drink, the C-Haus offers foosball, pool, air hockey, video games, and darts, along with live entertainment that is coordinated by students. Our main philosophy is to maintain the C-Haus as a positive social atmosphere where all students, alumni, faculty and staff and their guests are welcome to congregate.
