Walking through Turlington Plaza will soon leave you with something other than coupons and fliers in your hands.
Starting Sept. 21, Wake Up With RUB, provided by Reitz Union Board Entertainment, will be on Turlington Plaza at 8:30 a.m. with free breakfast ready for all who stop by.
"There will be coffee, juice and all sorts of breakfast pastries available to everyone to help get a jump start on the week," Kate Morrison, co-director of promotions for RUB Entertainment, said.
Breakfast will be provided every other Monday until Nov. 16.
"Breakfast hits people when they're most receptive," according to Amy Marty, co-director for RUB Entertainment.
RUB Entertainment is a student programming board that provides free events in and around the Reitz Union almost daily.
The board hopes breakfast will get people talking about events taking place on campus throughout the semester and will get more people involved in those activities.
"RUB events feature comedians, local and regional bands and karaoke nights," Morrison said.
Wake Up with RUB hopes to inform the community of the events they sponsor on campus. But at the end of the day, its goal is to provide breakfast to the many college students that could really use a coffee on Monday mornings.
"Who doesn't love free cookies and coffee?" Morrison asked.
