Wrapping up this year’s Showcase Spotlight Series is a group from the Bookstore, Library, and Access Technology Center: Sarah Gott, Timothy McHenry, and Tracy Stout!

This group will be presenting at the Showcase this fall during the second session of simultaneous faculty presentations. During this presentation, the group will be sharing insights into enhancing student success through a collaborative approach involving the university Bookstore, Disability Resource Center, and OER initiatives. This session will present information on the how the Bookstore’s processes impact affordability and access, how the Disability Resource Center ensures accessibility compliance and supports students with disabilities, and how faculty can adopt high-quality OER to enhance course materials and reduce costs. To find more details on this groundbreaking collaboration and the specifics of it that you can look forward to learning at the Showcase, locate the group’s full session description in the Showcase event schedule on the FCTL website.
