After ceasing operations last week following the abrupt closure of Provence Bakery, which occupied the space, Iris Cafe will reopen on Monday. The cafe will be managed by VU Dining and will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thew menu will feature Peet’s coffee, espresso, hot and cold drinks, as well as pastries, whole fruit and sandwiches to go.
Campus dining will operate the space for the time being, though they are still considering other options for the future.
Sam Zern ('20) has been a member of The Vanderbilt Hustler since her freshman year, first as a staff writer and shortly after as assistant campus editor. She went on to be campus editor and, later, editor in chief. In her senior year at Vanderbilt, Sam was managing editor and streamlined recruitment and training processes.
In her time as a member of the editorial board, she has prioritized diversity and breadth in coverage, wanting to make sure as much of Vanderbilt as possible is represented in the paper. Outside of The Hustler, she studies education policy and sociology and has worked as a journalist for local publications in Austin and Nashville. She plans to pursue a career in journalism (and will gladly take any and all advice!)
