Affordable Learning Success: Make Your Space Possible

Oct 22, 2018 9:15am - 12:00pm
University Library: Jack & Florence Ferman Presentation Room

In 2018, a significant number of CSUN students reported some level of food insecurity. The cost of a textbook, even if it seems low, may mean the difference between succeeding at CSUN and dropping out. As part of the CSU-wide Affordable Learning Solutions initiative, faculty at CSUN have already saved students over $200,000. At the event, you will be able to:​

• Meet some of the faculty who have incorporated low to zero cost materials into their courses without compromising quality!
• Learn why this initiative is critical for the success of our students through an interactive panel.
• Find out about grant opportunities to join the AL$ initiative.
