Please plan now for the institution-wide stationery order taken at the end of August. 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.
I will be accepting orders from now through Thursday, Aug. 23, when orders are due.
For order instructions, go to the marketing communications website. Continue to purchase all non-departmental stationery (including “second-sheet letterheadâ€) through the university’s print services office.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
– Danette Newkirk (dnewkirk@georgefox.edu)
