¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ has launched ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ Buy Local, a program to connect local-, women- and minority-owned businesses with campus staff, faculty and student groups who purchase goods and services on behalf of the university.  

Why it matters

How it works 

Interested business owners complete a short, online Vendor Application Form. Vendors are then added to a list of local businesses available on ¾«Æ·SMÔÚÏßӰƬ’s Office of Government and Community Engagement website.  Â
