Intermetzo is an important part of LVC’s campus, but it’s the friendly faces who keep it up and running.

Located in Clyde A. Lynch Memorial Hall, Intermetzo is a one-stop-shop for students who need an early morning caffeine fix or a midday pick-me-up.

When students go to place that order, there is always one smiling face behind the counter: Crystal.

Crystal has been working for Metz and serving students for 10 years now and has loved every second. When asked about her favorite part of the job, Crystal had a clear answer:

“Getting to interact with all the students,” she said.

While Crystal may love the students, students are just as lucky to have someone who gets to know the campus community as well as she does. For many students, they don’t even have to tell Crystal what they want – she’s got their order memorized.

“I like my job, so I love the interacting that what makes it easier to memorize the faces”

Before Crystal started working for Metz, she worked at a Copacking company and was a nursing assistant for many years.

“Taking care of the elderly, bathing, getting dressed and transporting them to activities.” “Investigating their materials to make sure they have the right materials when packing almost like a quality control.”

Now, working for Metz allows her to have a more flexible schedule to take care of her family.

Some students go further to show how appreciative they are of her by getting her a holiday card last semester.

Be sure to stop by Intermetzo the next time you’re in lynch and say hi to everyone’s favorite Metz employee, Crystal.
