    The university recently completed the bid process for the mail and print services contract because the existing contract was reaching end of term. Through this rigorous and informative process, the university has selected two vendors. Canon Solutions of America, Inc. will be contracted to manage the university’s mail services operation (renamed “The Post”) with oversight by Kerri Demeri, Director of Auxiliary Services. RJ Young will manage print services with oversight by Bobbie Maynard, Executive Director of Marketing and Communications.

    If there are any disruptions in service they will be posted at the location and communicated through Tech Times however, we are all working diligently to make this transition as seamless as possible and look forward to offering you the same great service you have come to expect, as well as future enhancements.
