Order your Missouri S&T name tags
Kent Jewelry, which provides name tags for the campus, has set dates for production of new Missouri S&T name tags. The new tags will be silver and feature the Missouri S&T word mark in black. Departments may submit orders via email at orders@kentjewelry.com, by fax at 573-364-4446, or by dropping by the store at 110 W. Eighth St.
Orders received by Dec. 8 will be completed by Dec. 11. Orders received by Dec. 27 will be ready to pick up on Dec. 28.
Departments are responsible for the costs of their name tags.
As with any purchase, university purchasing procedures must be followed when ordering.
Contact Enrollment Management for table banners
To help coordinate the purchase of new display headers, table runners and standing banners, Shannon Stites in Enrollment Management is compiling a list of departments needing to replace these items. These items will be ordered in bulk. If your department plans to order new display headers, table runners or standing banners to integrate the new campus brand identity into your marketing materials, please contact Shannon Stites at 341-4378 or by email at sstites@umr.edu to get on the list. This will ensure that the university will receive a better price for the replacement of these items.
Download fact sheet, sample letter
Looking for an easy way to communicate the name change to your constituents? The communications staff has prepared a sample fact sheet and sample letter for campuswide use as templates to notify colleagues of the name change. Both documents are available in Microsoft Word format.

To download the sample letter (which can be used for memos, letters and email notices to notify colleagues, funding agencies and others about the name change, go to http://namechange.mst.edu/documents/sample letter.doc .
FAQ update
The latest version of the frequently asked questions on the name change has been updated. Visit http://namechange.mst.edu/faq/ for the latest information.
Delay in providing some materials
Earlier this month, the communications department reported that some materials, such as letterhead and business cards, would be available for order by early December. Due to some delays in the design of letterhead, business card, envelope and other templates, these materials will not be available by Dec. 1. We’ll provide an update on the production schedule as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact Andrew Careaga, director of communications, at acareaga@umr.edu.
Reuse, recycle your old UMR materials
Wondering what to do with your old UMR letterhead? Reuse and recycle are always options. If you need ideas on how to reuse leftover paper products, contact Jesse Singleton in printing services at 341-4264.
