Free-to-Students Initiative has saved students $1.5M on textbooks - Longmont Leader

Over the past five years, Aims Community College has focused on moving more classes to their Free-to-Student (F2S) initiative. This initiative prioritizes the use of learning resources that are freely available to educators and students. It has now saved students more than $1.5 million on textbooks. “I'm very proud of the work that our faculty and staff have done so that we can support students not just to save money but also to address equity challenges that students face,” Doug Strauss, program director of the Learning Commons, said in a press release.
