Buy Better Challenge Winner
This summer, we challenged you to buy better—and you accepted that challenge. From June 17, 2024 to August 23, 2024, TU spent $161,749.16 with local, minority and veteran-owned businesses—8% of our total Purchase Card spending for that period. Your buying decisions helped harness TU’s economic power to support businesses and business owners in our very own community!
The divisions and offices with the highest percentage spend among small, minority and veteran-owned businesses were:
Buy Better Challenge Leaders
| Team | Percentage Spend with Small, Local, Minority or Veteran-Owned Businesses |
| Alumni Relations | 59% |
| Development | 54% |
| College of Business and Economics | 46% |
| Student Development Programs | 45% |
| Parking and Transportation | 30% |
Congratulations to the Alumni Relations Team for winning the challenge! Cardholders Margaret Paulson, Stephen Rosenfeld and Chandler Vicchio will receive a free lunch as the winners. Thanks for making a difference!
While the competition is over, the benefits of buying better continue. Keep spending wisely and using certified small, minority and veteran-owned businesses whenever possible.
