Garrett College, the Garrett College Foundation and a private donor couple are combining to fund an initiative to drastically reduce student textbook costs. The college and foundation, along with part-time Garrett County residents Lori Richards and Ken Newbaker, are teaming up to provide $15,000 annually over the next two years to fund creation of Open Educational Resources by Garrett College faculty. OERs are online resources available to students at free or dramatically reduced costs to replace traditional textbooks and other course materials.
