Hello all,

I reached out to the student newspaper and Langara Student Union leadership about the rising cost of commercial textbooks, with the hope that students would champion the cause. Sadly, there’s been little interest/uptake to date. It’s great to see traction on other campuses though, and I’ll continue to proselytize here at Langara ;)

Our students at KPU have something going too. Sadly I didn’t take a picture of it (I know – if you don’t get a photo it never happened!). I’m reaching out to the organizer to see if he got a photo. Nothing works better than students engaging students!

Hello,

It is that time of semester when we hopefully see more attention brought to the high cost of textbooks. UVIC made the papers - http://www.saanichnews.com/news/410166795.html#.WHZqlZmgDuo.twitter

And here at Douglas, the Douglas College Student Union set up a table set in our concourse area (see attached picture). I took the picture at the end of the day but during the day I noticed they had a lot of traffic around the table.

Did anything happen at your institution that you would like to share?
