We are mindful of how our business impacts our community, so we like to work with companies that share our commitment to the communites we work in.

Not only is Tervis made in America, they also have a Made for Life™ Guarantee. If any Tervis product is defective, such as cracked, heat distortion, film, etc., The Tervis Tumbler Company will replace it.
Decomposition Book®
These eco-friendly books have 100% Post-consumer-waste recycled pages. The covers are printed with Soy Ink, which contains fewer VOCs (volatile organic compounds) than regular, petroleum-based ink. Not only are these books great for the enviroment, they are also made in the USA.
Green Book
During exam week, Professors often require students to buy a Blue Book, an examination booklet. We are happy to carry a green alternative. Our Green Books are exactly the same as Blue Books, but they contain a minimum of 30% Post-consumer waste. So why not make exam week a bit more green?
We love our community! So when we see a chance to help, we jump in.

Coloring for Cancer
In a charitable initiative led by the CMU Bookstore as part of Cancer Awareness, Central Michigan Coaches wore shoes designed by children at CMU's Child Development & Learning Lab during pre game and game festivities on Oct. 17, 2016. The white shoes were colored Maroon & Gold by the children. The game-worn shoes were auctioned. Half of the proceeds went to the Child Development & Learning Lab and the other half went to the University of Michigan Health Systems Head and Neck Cancer Program, a charity designated by Head Coach John Bonamego.
