This is the final call to order university stationery for the large fall order. The collective order helps keep costs low – the higher the volume, the lower the cost. Consequently, it is most economical to overestimate needs and store a small surplus.
Orders can be placed on the marketing communications website and will be accepted through Friday, Sept. 24.
Continue to purchase all non-departmental stationery (including “second-sheet letterheadâ€) through the university’s Office of Mail Services.
