For many students, the cost of required materials can pose a significant financial barrier to receiving an education. That’s why UT Libraries’ 40 Hours for the Forty Acres campaign is raising funds for an endowment supporting Open Educational Resources (OER).

This campaign lasts from 6 a.m. on April 29 through 10 p.m. on April 30. *Only two days* to help support instructors seeking to adopt OER for their courses! Learn more about how you can make a difference for students across the Forty Acres: https://bit.ly/UTLibraries40forForty
