PC Hardware Tier 1 Refresh (Lenovo and Dell)
The “Tier 1” units (for which Northwestern receives the highest discount percentage) in iBuyNU have been refreshed across both Preferred Vendors for PC hardware, Lenovo (through CDWG) and Dell. This refresh will allow Northwestern to purchase the most up-to-date hardware at contract prices.

To access the Tier 1 units in the Dell catalog in iBuyNU, click on the “Standard Configurations” link on the main page. To access the Tier 1 Lenovo units, enter the CDWG catalog and click on the Lenovo icon from the main page. For both vendors, the entire catalog is still open, however Tier 1 units receive the highest discount.

If you need to custom-build a machine or have questions about a unit, please reach out to our vendor reps directly at northwesternuniversityteam@dell.com or angieandbrian@cdwg.com.  Details on the specifications for the Tier 1 units can be found on the CDWG and Dell Preferred Vendor pages.

Participate in the Green Office Program
The sustainNU Green Office program empowers University employees who are striving to adopt environmental best practices in the workplace. The program offers guidance on conserving energy and water, reducing waste, and increasing environmental awareness on campus. Program participants get support from sustainNU staff, and have opportunities to network with other Green Office participants. Learn more on the sustainNU website or email sustainability@northwestern.edu to get involved.

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
Everyone on campus can help cut back on the amount of waste going to to landfills by recycling, and looking for ways to generate less waste. Northwestern collects "mixed recycling," which means paper, cardboard, cans, plastic, and glass can all be placed in the same bin. Separate recycling collection services are available for other items such as electronics, lab equipment, and batteries. Learn more about what you can recycle on the sustainNU website, or contact sustainNU if you need recycling bins or labels for your workplace.

Host Sustainable Events
Faculty, staff, and student groups can help Northwestern become more sustainable by considering the environmental impact of meetings and events. The sustainNU website offers a guide to hosting more sustainable events by considering things such as printing, catering choices, and use of disposable items.

Get Involved
To stay up to date on sustainability efforts on campus, subscribe to the sustainNU email newsletter, and follow @sustainNU on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
