Share Your Thoughts about IPFW's Future Bookstore
Due to the rapid changes in the university bookstore and textbook business and the expiration of our current bookstore contract with Follett in 2017, IPFW, Purdue Calumet, and Purdue North Central have retained Campus Bookstore Consulting Corporation (CBC) to conduct an assessment of our bookstores. CBC is an independent, objective national bookstore consulting firm that serves higher education. The three objectives assigned to CBC are to:
- Provide an independent contract review and financial assessment of our bookstores
- Assess the current bookstore contract
- Determine the service requirements and bookstore/campus store needs of the universities
As part of this process, CBC will be soliciting qualitative feedback from the campus community. Please take the opportunity to share your experiences, opinions, or thoughts for our future bookstore and join us for an open interview with the consultants Tuesday, February 2, at 3 p.m. in Kettler Hall, Room 246.
