 CONSULT FOR OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS 

Oxford University Press (I.e. the textbook people) are looking for student representatives to be part of their Geography student panel. The panel of students will be contacted to gather opinions and feedback on aspects of current and future textbook resources. Students will be contacted via email a few times a semester with specific tasks, such as offering feedback on a forthcoming title or completing an online survey. Once each task is completed, participant students will be rewarded with credits to spend on OUP titles of their choice. Students will also be able to add this advisory experience to their résumés!  More information about the panel click here. If you are interested shoot us an email (mcgillgeography@gmail.com).
