SciQuest Update Purchasing and Distribution Services FAR Meeting January 25, 2017 Dr. John Clifford Director of Purchasing and Distribution Services Office of Financial Affairs (http://www.utsa.edu/financialaffairs/)

Site Naming Contest A big Roadrunner Thanks to our colleagues from across UTSA. More than 130 names were submitted for consideration. Because the interest far exceeded expectations, a team of Business Affairs managers narrowed the list to the top 20. Between November 30 and December 7, nearly 400 members of the campus community rated their top choices. The race was tight…but the winner emerged with the most “Love it” and least “Please, no!” votes. The new name for the online Purchasing Platform is The Rowdy Exchange. The name was submitted by Sara Aguilar, Academic Advisor II, Life and Health Science Advising. Sara was informed of her winning entry during an exciting (and embarrassing) visit by Financial Affairs on December 13, 2016.  For her winning entry, Sara received gift cards from UTSA Dining Services and the Rowdy Campus Store, thanks to our colleagues in Campus Services. Congratulations, Sara! Purchasing and Distribution Services Office of Financial Affairs
