Submit your application today for a 2026 OER Stipend! Deadline is February 2, 2026.
Join us on March 3, 2026 at 3:45 PM in the Library and Learning Center on the Stockton campus to celebrate $3M in textbook costs savings for Pacific students at our OER Party. This event is open to all students, faculty, and staff. You’ll hear from instructors who’ve created their own free course materials using the LibreTexts publishing platform and published research that’s available to everyone. Students will also share how these changes have helped them save money and succeed in class.
Open Educational Resources are teaching and learning materials that can replace traditional textbooks in the classroom. Faculty at Pacific have been awarded summer stipends to recognize their implementation of OER since 2017. As of Fall 2025, 84 faculty have been awarded stipends, saving students at Pacific over $3 million dollars.
