Monthly Feature
In Partnership with Slingshot
As course material delivery models change, the traditional bookstore is transitioning to a campus store. This gives your institution the opportunity to ensure your store is in the center of the campus ecosystem. Throughout the Workshop, you will have an opportunity to learn from thought leaders, break into smaller groups to discuss how topics align to a self-operated versus leased store model, and brainstorm ways to address the trends happening within campus stores.
Registration is free for institutional members!
Current Events
On your campus, you and your colleagues work hard to break new ground, implement innovation, and achieve success. Now it is time to honor these achievements by nominating yourself or someone you know for a NACAS award. Your nominations make our community a better place and ensure excellence is promoted.
New Deadline: July 9!
Making the Connection
As a volunteer-driven association, NACAS relies heavily on the expertise and time of those who serve on standing committees. Behind-the-scene tasks are critical to the execution of any program or event. Much of the work is accomplished via monthly conference calls and an in-person meeting onsite at the C3X Annual Conference & Expo!
Deadline to submit for Committee Positions: August 13
