The GVSU Surplus Store was created as an avenue to responsibly dispose of GVSU equipment that has reached it's end of product life for University use.
Mission Statement GVSU Surplus Store was created to reduce environmental impact by engaging in sustainable practices by providing items that have reached the end of their shelf life for sale to the general public, as well as providing an avenue for educating students in the field of business. Sustainable Efforts •Products avoid ending up in a landfill. •Products inadequate to sell are recycled in a responsible and sustainable manner. •When special situations arise, products are donated to other nonprofit organizations (examples being schools, food pantries, etc…) in order for GVSU to continue giving back to the community. Educating Students •Students receive hands-on experience in a business setting. •Students learn about the importance of sustainability and best practices. Reduce Costs of Operations •The revenue from sales will go back into GVSU’s general fund. •The overall goal is to eventually have the store revenues assist in helping provide students with quality education at a more affordable price by depositing the revenues back into the general fund.
