A big Roadrunner Thanks to our colleagues from across UTSA who-starting November 7-submitted more than 130 names for consideration in the Purchasing Platform Naming Contest.
Because the interest far exceeded expectations, a crack team of Business Affairs hotshots narrowed the submission list to the top 20. Between November 30 and December 7, nearly 400 members of the campus community rated each of the top choices. The race was tight...but the winner emerged with the most "Love it" and least "Please, no!" votes.
The new name for the online Purchasing Platform is The Rowdy Exchange.
The name was submitted by Sara Aguilar, Academic Advisor II, Life and Health Science Advising.
Sara was informed of her winning entry during an exciting (and embarrassing) visit by Financial Affairs on Dec. 13. She'll be redeeming her gift cards from UTSA Dining Services and the Rowdy Campus Store, thanks to our colleagues in Campus Services. (The cards<http://www.bkstr.com/texassanantoniostore/home/en> make great stocking stuffers!)
Congratulations, Sara!
In the months ahead, we'll be learning more<http://www.utsa.edu/bussvc/News/2016/11/SciQuest_overview_JC.pdf> about this exciting new system for buying goods and services, which will launch in May.

Purchasing Platform Naming Contest
More than 130 recommendations for naming UTSA's new online purchasing platform were submitted.
We thank those of you who entered and appreciate the tremendous thought and creativity that went into the submissions.
Because of the large number of candidates, a committee of representatives from Business Affairs worked hard to identify our top 20 that best represent the image of a new e-procurement platform.
Voting is now open to select the winner.
Please take two minutes and rate each of these names on a scale from "Love it!" to "Please, no!" before December 7. Your vote will help determine the name we'll use for this terrific new purchasing system.
Later in December we'll announce the winning name.
