Astro Pittman | The Seattle Collegian On September 6th, 2019, Caffe Vita’s now former manager Isaiah Washington sent out a company-wide email about employees handing out leftover food and coffee on shift to the homeless. The email discouraged this act and said that “feeding the homeless without comprehensive services actually enables, increases, and promotes homelessness.” This email was issued after…
Astro Pittman | The Seattle Collegian SORC, or the Student Organization Resource Council, is one of several facets of student leadership here at Seattle Central. Functioning as a middle-man between college facilities and student organizations, SORC reviews new club applications, funding requests and event proposals before approving them. Whether it’s planning a large event or tabling in the halls, SORC is…
