New Vistas For Erin Cave, Mark Heinowski

Erin Cave, UP bookstore manager, has accepted a position with Portland State University, and will be wrapping up her service at the University on April 26. Erin has been at the University of Portland bookstore for over 18 years and has been a wonderful campus partner to many within the UP community.

Keeping the “Dream Team” intact, Erin will be joined by longtime assistant director Mark Heinowski at PSU. UP’s new Barnes & Noble manager is Melanie Keller, who comes to us from Lewis & Clark College Bookstore (also B&N).

Please join in thanking Erin and Mark for their dedication and service to the University.

UP Bookstore Closing Sept. 5

The UP Bookstore’s last day of operations for the fall semester will be Saturday, Sept 5. Unfortunately, we must close our doors during the remainder of the semester. However, we will be available for online orders. If you do need to come to the Bookstore to make a purchase, please call 503-943-7125 to make an appointment. Erin and Mark will be around during the semester to assist. We will re-open near the end of the term but that date has not yet been determined. Please keep an eye on our website for our re-opening date.

New Departmental Barnes & Noble Purchase Policy

To facilitate easier transaction coding and to improve financial controls, the controller’s office has asked Barnes & Noble to discontinue having open departmental accounts at the University bookstore, according to Eric Barger, controller. Department purchases should instead be made with a University-issued P-card. The business purpose of purchases should be documented in the P-card reconciliation.  Barnes & Noble will still provide the usual faculty/staff discounts on qualifying purchases.
