Textbookbroke campaigns
by Flewelling, Debra 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

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?
