ODUMail Center
The Mail Center's mission is to provide quality mail/distribution services to the University campus and regional higher education centers in support of teaching, research, student activities and community programs.
The Mail Center is equipped with 1 sedan, 4 vans and 2 mailing machines to service the University community. About half of the University's mail is Standard Mail (Bulk Mail), and the remainder is a combination of all other classes of mail with first class being the predominant class. The Mail Center receives approximately 3 million pieces of mail annually from the USPS. In addition to postal mail, the Mail Center distributes approximately 2 million pieces of campus mail a year, serving 147 departments/offices on-campus and 13 sites off-campus from Virginia Beach to Newport News.
