1. EE/CPE Textbook Bank
This quarter (Winter 2020)
the EE/CPE Diversity, Inclusivity and Equity program will be starting our
library program!
This means that if you are
unable to afford textbooks for any course in the EE or CPE departments, we will
be able to help you. We will also be able to give you access to textbooks for
the quarter, and at the end of the quarter you will be asked to return the
textbooks to be used by students in need.
This program has been
funded through Anritsu and is specifically designed for students who are
struggling financially.
If you would like to
participate, please fill out this google form by 01/25/2020: https://forms.gle/93w6Pm32vdB4q4rm7
Once our program fills
capacity we will close the form so please fill it out ASAP!
Please email Professor
Tina Smilkstein at tsmilkst@calpoly.edu or Jissell Jose at jcjose@calpoly.edu
