Also, Lindsay, we can organise a panel discussion or a presentation/workshop with that group alone. I presented something at the Student Union Development Summit this past summer that was very well received and generated quite a bit of discussion. Let me know if you want to think about that and then we can chat. Maybe we can do something like that for Open Education Week at the end of March?
Let me know.
Cheers,

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 ;)

Yes please do send our way- was there any press on it?
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,
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?
