Auxiliary Services

Enterprise Services such as the Bookstore, Family Development Center, Copy Center, Heller Center, and Sodexo Dining Services and more are trying to make an impact on campus. Each service has implemented business practices that fit their department to better service clients, budgets, and our environment. All of these services on campus yield great information and tips that can be used in your own home or business!
