ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Announces Barnes & Noble will Manage University Campus Shop

Company will Assume Operations of Store Summer 2022

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.â€”ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï officials have announced a partnership with (BNC) to manage the University’s Campus Shop. The company operates over 1,400 physical and digital stores for schools, colleges and universities across the United States.

“We are excited to have a nationally-recognized brand assume management of our Campus Shop operations,â€� shared ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï President William Downs.  “The primary motivator for this innovation is to drive down textbook costs for our students, which we recognize as prohibitively high at present.  What BNC will be able to do for college affordability through their optional textbook rental program should be a real difference maker for GWU students.â€�

As a partner with GWU, Barnes & Noble College will offer digital courseware, textbooks, faculty adoption tools, open educational resources (OER), and customized store solutions (physical and digital). The company will also offer GWU-licensed products for alumni, students, family and friends of the University in a convenient online environment.

Additionally, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï will benefit from the knowledge and support of Inc. (BNED), the parent company of Barnes & Noble College. The innovative academic programs created by BNED, as well as fresh retail approaches, will deliver optimal content to GWU students at the best prices.

With our revitalized Campus Shop and modernized online store, our ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï community of families, parents, students and fans can easily shop for all their GWU merchandise needs. Together, ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï and Barnes & Noble College look forward to serving our community with ease of access and convenience.â€�
