"In response to
departmental requests for greater autonomy, the Purchasing Card Program
was established as an alternative to the existing University procurement
processes. The program utilizes a Mastercard that can be used to purchase
approved items with a value less than $1,000.00." - Husky Buyer, March
2000
"The
Division of Athletics has found the Purchasing Card to be a very useful
tool in meeting the everyday unique, hectic demands that challenge our
department. " - Gary West, Athletics 09/27/00
"I LOVE (!!!)
the Procard! Buying needed items is expedited by its' use and keeping
well-organized files is a breeze. With the addition of internet purchases,
vendor choices and cheaper prices are more readily available. It's a win-win
situation for everyone!" - William Hickman, Rainbow Center, 09/27/00
"We've
been using the Pro Card for the last year and find it most helpful in
"last minute, need yesterday orders." A couple of glitches have come up,
but with the expert guidance of Nancy Patrylak and Susan Murphy, we have
brought these problems to closure. The Pro Card has been a great experience
for me as now I receive compliments on my work effort. " - Anita Lang,
School of Social Work, 09/27/00
"I have found the
Purchasing Card to be very helpful in acquiring what is needed for our
productions in Dramatic Arts. It is especially useful for telephone orders
as is expands our choices and allows us to shop for the most reasonable
prices. " - Judy Heywood, Dramatic Arts 09/27/00
