| Federation Launches New HP Purchasing Agreement |
| Released: 6/6/2007 |
In an effort to reduce the cost of computers for students, the Federation has partnered with HP to offer a group-purchasing arrangement. By leveraging the aggregate purchasing power of all Federation member institutions, we are able to offer your campus constituents significant discounts on HP desktops, notebooks, and monitors. This program compliments the existing Microsoft student discount program in place through the Federation.
CampusTech, the Federation’s technology partner, will administer the entire program from ordering, shipping, and payment, and will also provide excellent customer service.
Please feel free to take advantage of these programs. We would also ask that you alert all those that you feel might be interested at your institution. CampusTech has a website dedicated to this program located at www.campustech.com/studentfiicu. This site will allow all faculty, staff, parents, and students to easily place their orders.
