Counselor’s Free-Textbook Drive Saving Grossmont College Students $1.3M - KEN STONE, Times of San Diego

This academic year, students at the El Cajon campus are saving nearly $1.3 million, thanks to the efforts of Dillon and other faculty members supporting the college’s push to sharply reduce textbook costs. A full-time faculty member since 2007, Dillon began exploring textbook alternatives after hearing repeated student complaints about escalating prices for books. When he noticed that students were taking fewer classes or even resorting to taking cellphone photos of pages from classmates’ books, he decided it was time to confront the issue. https://timesofsandiego.com/education/2019/03/28/counselors-free-textbook-drive-saving-grossmont-college-students-1-3m/
