‘Always Innovative’
Through smart acquisitions and clever marketing, Glenda Miley has managed to expand her in-plant at Auburn University into a full-service operation.
“Things were more spaced out and there was room to grow,” she says. “I wanted to do so much.”
Her enthusiasm was rewarded in 1993 when her boss left the in-plant and she was promoted to manager.
The in-plant now produces full-color hardback books, course packs, manuals, posters, vinyl banners, CDs and promotional products. It has four full-time employees and 20 student workers and prides itself on keeping those students with the shop throughout their entire college career. Employing students helps to cut costs, and the students offer a lot of ideas, says Miley. The shop is student-run from 5 p.m. until it closes at 10 p.m.
