Save time and money by letting the communications office and printing & mailing services help you

Whitworth has invested in highly trained staff and sophisticated software and equipment to help you communicate effectively with internal and external audiences, represent your office and the university in positive ways, and save significant time and money.

The university communications office (located in Hawthorne Hall, #121) provides editorial, web development, and graphic design services to help you create relevant and meaningful communications in print and on the web. We also offer expertise in areas such as targeted e-mail messaging and social networking. To learn more about the UCO’s services, or to submit a project request form, visit http://web2.whitworth.edu/uco (this site is located on the campus intranet and requires network access).

The print shop (located in Hawthorne Hall via the north-side parking lot), offers access to knowledgeable staff, high-speed production copiers/printers, an off-set printing press, and equipment for trimming, binding, hole-punching and other print-finishing options. Also, the per-page copy and print rate at the print shop is lower than the rate your department pays when you print at your department machine.

Another way to save your budget and time is by using the mail center, in the HUB. Mail center staff can significantly lower your postage rates by automating, sorting, metering, checking the accuracy of addresses, and printing addresses and barcodes on your outgoing mail. Processing your mail through the mail center will also reduce or eliminate undeliverable mail.

Please be sure to take advantage of the services our offices provide. By letting us do our jobs, you’ll have more time (and budget resources) to do your own.
