Starting March 1, Stefanie will assume the position of Director of Open Educational Resources in Ecampus.

The BennyBuy team has been updating the Supplier Information page on our website. First, we have added links to the Buy Orange contracts next to the relevant suppliers. These links are available as gray “Contract” buttons. Additionally, some suppliers have provided guides for navigating their respective punch-out sites. These are available as black “Guide” buttons. The new contract and guide links accompany our Supplier Information Sheets, which are now linked as orange “Info” buttons. These sheets offer supplier-specific details about quotes, shipping, customer service contacts, and other pertinent information. Please note that construction on the Supplier Information page is ongoing.
