Learning to Thrive in a New Environment: the Perspective From Cambridge
On a surprisingly sunny Sunday afternoon, 21 students from 17 different countries all arrived in Cambridge.

When Seedling Met Soil: A Coffee Bean Origin Story
Nestlé has been on-the-ground in Colombia for nearly 75 years, building relationships with farmers like Nescafé Plan farmer Luz and her community. Luz is a sixth generation farmer who took over the family coffee farm with her brother. When she and her brother took over the farm, their coffee trees were dying from rust. Nestlé worked with the family to overhaul the farm and plant a new disease-resistant Castillo variety of coffee plant. It was a fresh start that was incredibly needed and now they’re helping to provide the highest-quality beans through Colombia’s National Coffee Federation.
