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 ;) Lindsay From: Bcoelsteering [mailto:bcoelsteering-bounces(a)mail.bccampus.ca] On Behalf Of Amanda Coolidge Sent: January-12-17 10:54 AM To: Caroline Daniels Cc: bcoel; bcoelsteering Subject: Re: [Bcoelsteering] Textbookbroke campaigns Yes please do send our way- was there any press on it? ________________________________ From: "Caroline Daniels" <Caroline.Daniels(a)kpu.ca<mailto:Caroline.Daniels(a)kpu.ca>> To: "Amanda Coolidge" <acoolidge(a)bccampus.ca<mailto:acoolidge(a)bccampus.ca>>, "Debra Flewelling" <flewellingd(a)douglascollege.ca<mailto:flewellingd(a)douglascollege.ca>> Cc: "bcoelsteering" <bcoelsteering(a)mail.bccampus.ca<mailto:bcoelsteering(a)mail.bccampus.ca>>, "bcoel" <bcoel(a)mail.bccampus.ca<mailto:bcoel(a)mail.bccampus.ca>> Sent: Thursday, January 12, 2017 10:47:39 AM Subject: RE: Textbookbroke campaigns Our students at KPU have something going too.

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?
