Textbook Rental

The Madison College Bookstore and Student Senate have been working together to make renting textbooks a reality. Rental textbooks cost half the amount that new books and a third less then used books. It's a safer route then buying a book and selling it back at the end of the semester because you safe the money up front and you don't have to worry about new editions coming up and making your textbook worthless. It's really a great program and it can save students lots of money. Right now there are only 10 titles in the bookstore that can be rented. What are the odds that you will be in one of those few classes that have the textbooks available for rent? Why don't we have more? The biggest reason: most instructors don't know about it. So what can we do to fix this? Go to all your instructors and tell them that when they order textbooks for their classes to request that the books be used in the Rental Program. Tell them to pass the message to other instructors. If they have questions (or if you have questions) call the bookstore and they will be happy answer anything you might need to know. If you want to be more involved in expanding the rental program contact the Student Senate at senate@matcmadison.edu.

Groundhog's Day

It's certainly looking like this year's Groundhog's Day is a prelude to more winter ahead of us with all the snow coming down.
The Ambassador team is staying busy with school events and brainstorming new ways to improve every student's experience at Madison College. To this end, we would love to hear any feedback or suggestions you have. We're here to help! So whether you notice someone wearing an Ambassador jacket in the hall, or you want to stop by our office to ask a question, don't be shy! Even if we don't know the answers ourselves, we know how to help you find them.
Enjoy the blustery day, everyone!
