A big THANK YOU to everyone who joined us at the 2016 U Market Supplier Showcase!
More than 600 attendees and 50 suppliers convened at Coffman Memorial Union on September 13, 2016. Attendees got their U Market questions answered and U Market vendors showcased their latest products. Three lucky people won a free HP eAll-in-one printer/fax/scanner from U Market!
If you were at the event—or even if you weren't—and have a burning question that didn't get answered, don't hesitate to contact Customer Support at 612-624-4878 or ums@umn.edu.
You can now shop directly from USA Scientific on U Market.
Look for their logo under Lab Equipment and Supplies. When searching for USA Scientific products customers should use the manufacturer part number or part description.

Francisco Iglesias
Francisco Iglesias—or Franco, as he’s known around the office—is a U Market Services Buyer and U Market Catalog Administrator. Franco creates new contracts for specific categories of U Market Stock goods and oversees the administration of more than 15 vendors. Helping manage the shifting variety of thousands of products might be vexing for some people, but Franco is up to the challenge.
“Change is inevitable,” Franco says. “So we have to make up our minds that no matter what comes our way, no matter how difficult it is, that we will thrive in spite of it.”
