Nicole is Associate Director of Institutional Relations at OpenStax where she manages an institutional partnership program with key colleges and universities to promote the use of OpenStax books and other Open Educational Resources. Over the past year, schools participating in the institutional partnership program have seen a 490% increase in free textbook use compared to a 200% increase in free textbook use at non-partnership schools. Nicole also writes and consults on individualized strategic initiative plans for colleges and universities that have a goal of increasing the use of Open Educational Resources at their schools.
