Morris Library's Open Textbook Faculty Incentive Program supports students by offering financial incentives for teaching faculty to use alternative lower-cost educational materials rather than high-cost textbooks. This may include the adoption or adaption of an existing open textbook, or, in some cases, the creation of a new open textbook. To learn more, visit our program page.

The submission deadline is September 13, 2024, and award notification is by September 27, 2024. The open textbook can be used in a course in Fall 2024 or Spring 2025. Interested faculty must submit a proposal to receive the grant.

Visit the Wildflower Show in the Morris Library first floor rotunda, May 10 - August 10, 2024. in the Morris Library first floor rotunda, May 10 - August 10, 2024. Featuringlocal artists Jan York, Kathy Wides, Jen Wharton, Jeannie Ravenscraft, Julie O. Murphy, Laura Marjorie Miller, Beth Martell, Lisa Lennox, Shannon Green, Jonny Gray, Cathy Daesch, and Rhonda Branum. The real wonder of wildflowers is that they adapt so effortlessly to the different conditions they find themselves in. If ever there was a flower that epitomizes the idiom “bloom where you are planted,” it’s the wildflower. We could all take a cue from these wild, free and yet still rooted plants. They are resilient, untamed, beautiful, surprising, colorful, and unpredictable. There’s a lot to love about them.

The Inclusive Collection highlights books featuring topics, authors, characters, perspectives, experiences, and expertise that members of systemically marginalized and excluded communities of people bring to every genre and discipline.
