This year, the Surplus program continued to grow and demonstrate its vital role in the campus community:

• Increased Resource Redistribution:
  • The program successfully redistributed a substantial volume of surplus assets, minimizing waste and maximizing the utilization of existing resources. This has led to cost savings across various departments.
• Enhanced Sustainability:
  • Efforts in diverting surplus materials from landfills have significantly contributed to our sustainability goals. By promoting reuse and recycling, the surplus program has reduced WFU’s environmental footprint.
• Financial Impact:
  • The program generated notable revenue through the sale of surplus items, which was reinvested into the University. Additionally, cost avoidance through internal redistribution has provided substantial financial benefits.
• Community Contributions:
  • The program strengthened our partnerships with local non-profit organizations by donating surplus items, supporting their missions and contributing to community well-being.
