Purchasing
Purchasing and Auxiliary Services plays a vital role in acquiring and delivering a wide range of goods and services — from construction projects and course materials to copiers — that support Jefferson College’s mission, vision, values, strategic priorities, and goals.
This department also encompasses Central Office Services and the Print Shop, and works closely with the Business Office and other departments within the Division of Finance and Operations to ensure seamless day-to-day operations.
Auxiliary Services include partnerships with key service providers such as:
- Barnes & Noble, which operates the College bookstore
- Great Western Dining, which manages campus food services
- Cardinal Vending, which provides vending machines and micro-marts across campus locations
Every function within Purchasing and Auxiliary Services is ultimately centered on supporting Jefferson College students. In addition to routine procurement, the team collaborates with faculty and staff across all campuses to facilitate special initiatives, capital projects, and enhancement grant purchases.
The department helps develop and implement effective timelines, resolve logistical challenges, and support both current projects and long-term planning. It also provides accurate, timely information and decision-making materials to the College President, Cabinet, and Board of Trustees.
With every effort, the department is committed to ensuring that procurement processes align with internal policies and external regulations, always upholding the responsibility of being good stewards of the resources entrusted to Jefferson College.
