“I have a good relationship with everybody here. I will miss it, but I have another opportunity – a better opportunity.” – Silvia Galan
“I go to the cafe right before my photojournalism class, and each time I go, I always see Silvia’s smiling face. It’s really sad that she’s gonna be leaving. Her smile was infectious.” – Aria Chehreghani, senior broadcast journalism major.
“She’s always been such a beam of sunshine in the morning. I always say good morning to her and she always asks about my day, so it’s really sad that she’s gonna be leaving – I’m gonna miss her.” – Jasmine Hardy, senior broadcast journalism major.
“Silvia is so sweet. She always gets me my chai with espresso right before my last class, and I always come in right as she’s cleaning up, and I feel really bad. But, she always makes it for me … It’s so sad. She’s a part of the journalism school.” – Melissa Seitz, junior broadcast journalism major.
“It makes me so sad. She’s always so nice in the mornings. Even though they’re not supposed to open up the shop early, she always does if i want a hot chocolate or something. She’s really sweet and friendly. I’m gonna miss having her around.” – Camille Chrysostom, sophomore multiplatform journalism and government and politics double major.
“She’s just a great face behind the counter in terms of how she’s always upbeat … If you’re in a bad mood, and you really need your coffee, she’s cool with that. If you have time to talk, she’s really engaged and wants to talk to you too. She sees us as people not just customers, and we hope most of us see her as somebody we’re gonna miss.” – Susan Moeller, media and international affairs professor.
“Every time I come here she’s always really happy and that has made coming here a more enjoyable experience. Just the small things. When people say ‘hi,’ and smile and then talk to you for a little bit … about nothing. That’s what she would do for me and it’s sad to hear she’s leaving. But I’m sure she’ll bring her happiness somewhere else.” – Ryan Eskalis, senior broadcast journalism major.
