Wednesday night’s Espresso UP was a princess and puppy extravaganza. Members of UP’s chapter of A Moment of Magic (AMOM), a nonprofit organization where college students visit children’s hospitals dressed as princesses and superheroes, came to Espresso UP in full costume. Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Merida, Jasmine and Captain Marvel took pictures with students as they got their coffee and Italian sodas.
Espresso UP also partnered with the Oregon Humane Society on Wednesday and brought two dogs — Rex, an eight-year-old Lab-Shepherd mix, and Harley, a six-year-old Golden Retriever. Rex and Harley welcomed students into St. Mary’s with bright eyes and wagging tails to help students take a break from the stress of midterms week.
