Division History
The Blend is the oldest operating Flyer Enterprises’ venture. The Blend opened
January 21, 2000 in conjunction with the opening of the Learning Teaching Center,
located on the ground floor of Roesch Library. The concept of the coffee shop proposed
by Dr. Deb Bickford, Associate Provost for Academic Affairs and Learning Initiatives,
who proposed the idea of incorporating a student-run operation when planning the LTC
proposal and blueprint. Dayton Student Agencies, who later became Flyer Enterprises,
created the concept and managed the coffee shop. FE has full financial ownership of the Blend.
