CUNY School of Law to Launch Akademos’ Online Bookstore Solution
Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) May 18, 2015 -- Akademos, Inc., a leading provider of integrated online bookstores and marketplaces for educational institutions, announced today that the CUNY School of Law (http://www.law.cuny.edu) has joined its rapidly growing list of partner schools. The School of Law, along with Medgar Evers College and John Jay College of Criminal Justice, becomes the third City University of New York (CUNY) Institution to adopt the Akademos value focused bookstore solution within the last 12 months.
Starting in Fall 2015, CUNY School of Law students can shop for textbooks and course materials in the money saving format of their choice and place orders anytime, anywhere through a mobile optimized online bookstore and marketplace.
The new online bookstore will accept the CUNY Scholar card, enabling students to seamlessly apply financial aid toward their purchases. With the deep SIS integration and a best-in-class online shopping experience, students will now be able to complete their course material ordering for a term in less than 5 minutes.
“We believe Akademos will best serve our students and faculty,” said Glenn Kaufhold, Chief Operating Officer of CUNY School of Law. “The Akademos online bookstore is built to meet the demand for competitively priced textbooks, and their innovative faculty resources will create much needed efficiencies in our course material adoption process. As an added benefit, moving to an online bookstore will allow us the opportunity to repurpose our existing bookstore space to better serve our students.”
“I am pleased to welcome CUNY School of Law to Akademos,” said Chief Executive Officer John Squires. “We are excited for students to experience our new store design and mobile-optimized shopping experience. Our commitment to continuous innovation around the concepts of value and ease of use will provide outstanding service for CUNY School of Law students, faculty and administrators alike.”
