Wisconsin Week streamlines delivery

For most of Wisconsin Week’s history, you’ve seen your name printed on the front page of every issue. No more.

We spent our summer devising a more streamlined method of delivering Wisconsin Week to all campus employees. Based on requests from colleagues in mailrooms around campus, we have eliminated individual addressing on each copy of Wisconsin Week.

Instead, each campus building will receive a bundle of copies equal to the number of employees in the building.

We will rely on campus mail coordinators to deliver those copies to employees just as they do now – but no longer will they have to match each individually addressed copy to its intended recipient.

Instead, we expect only that one unlabeled copy be delivered to each employee with the rest of their regular mail.

We hope that in addition to easing the burden of sorting and delivering copies of Wisconsin Week, this new method will encourage more timely distribution of the paper.

This is a pilot project, and we’re open to suggestions for improving it. If you have ideas or concerns about this new system, please let us know.
