Roosevelt University Earns Free Shipping With EAL's Referral Program
 Paul Matthews, Assistant Vice President, Campus Planning & Operations, at Roosevelt University, often mentions his school's partnership with EAL when speaking with colleagues at various industry conferences. After Paul recently spoke with Ray Jacobs, Facilities Director, Black Hawk College, about EAL and the money saved on facilities maintenance products (and the resulting inventory and cash scholarships), Ray was very interested in learning more. After Paul made an introduction, Susie Kessler, Director, Educational Partnerships, EAL, and Claudia Freed, EAL Executive Director, provided a demo to Ray and his colleague, Mike Meleg, Purchasing Manager, on how an EAL partnership works. The result was a new EAL partner.
To reward Roosevelt University for this referral, EAL provided free shipping on a recent order, saving the school approximately $500. This referral was a great benefit to both Roosevelt University and EAL.
