Swiss Post Solutions to provide postal services for Howard University
Howard University has selected Swiss Post Solutions as its partner to run day-to-day operations of the University postal services, as well as graphics and print services at its campus in Washington, DC. It said the partnership was a key component of “Campus Connect”, a larger administrative renewal initiative to improve services to the University’s 11,000 students and more than 5,000 faculty and staff members.
“At Howard, we are constantly seeking ways to improve our service delivery and efficiency. In an age of endless possibilities, we sought a partner to enhance both postal and printing services. We look forward to an enduring partnership with Swiss Post Solutions,” said Troy Stovall, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Howard University.
“Swiss Post has also demonstrated the ability to hire, train, motivate and retain exceptional people including our existing staff.”
Howard University is a private, research university that is comprised of 12 schools and colleges. Founded in 1867, students pursue studies in more than 120 areas leading to undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees.
Since 1998, the University has produced two Rhodes Scholars, two Truman Scholars, a Marshall Scholar, 21 Fulbright Scholars and 11 Pickering Fellows. Howard also produces more on campus African-American Ph.D. recipients than any other university in the United States.
