The Surplus Center’s mission is to process university-owned excess property to eligible entities on campus, and also to sell to the public through the Surplus Center outlet and online store.
“Everybody loves a win/win situation,” said Andrea Mower, Surplus Center supervisor. “A wide variety of interesting goods come in and out every week...from computer equipment to furniture to electronics and recreational items. The prices are great and when goods are repurposed, it helps reduce landfills, which benefits the environment.”
