Savings Strategies

"What Can I Do?"

Individual members of the campus community can help reduce costs and save resources by paying attention to a few simple reminders:

  • Think before you print
  • Duplex printing on copiers and desktop printers
  • Receive your printed pay statement electronically through ePay
  • Turn off the lights when leaving buildings/offices
  • Turn off computer monitors each night
  • Take the stairs instead of the elevator
  • Recycle - it lowers our costs
  • Use the University's state sales tax exemptions when applicable
  • Consider using Surplus items prior to purchasing new items
  • Develop departmental guidelines for the allocation and use of mobile devices
  • Consider using the University's videoconferencing facilities as an alternative to travel
  • Encourage brown bag instead of lunch meetings
