With heartbreak, we share the news of the recent passing of our team member, Corey Sanders. Corey was a member of our downstairs barista team and a cherished member of our little Nook family.

Our hearts go out to the Sanders family, our staff, and Corey's friends at this time.

A Celebration of Life service will be tomorrow, Friday, October 28th, at 4 pm in the LGBTQIA+ Resource Center located on the UH Main campus in Student Center South. Those who wish to celebrate Corey are encouraged to attend.
