eCampus.com's full-service online bookstore platform will improve the student experience through access to low-cost course materials coupled with a customer-focused campus retail experience.
LEXINGTON, Ky., April 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- eCampus.com has been selected as SUNY Brockport's official course materials partner, delivering a full-service online bookstore platform alongside managing and operating the SUNY Brockport campus store.

This new partnership focuses on providing convenient and affordable access to course materials via a personalized online storefront, in addition to a customer-focused retail experience for the entire SUNY Brockport community.
SUNY Brockport joins five other SUNY system schools—Canton, Cobleskill, Cortland, Morrisville, and Oneonta—in selecting eCampus.com as their comprehensive course materials provider. However, Brockport is the first to combine this partnership with campus store management. eCampus.com was selected after a comprehensive evaluation process demonstrated that the company best supports SUNY Brockport's mission to enhance the student and faculty experience. Key advantages of the program include excellent customer service, a wider range of affordable options, and the capability to meet growing demands for digital content. Students will have access to new, used, and rental textbooks, as well as access to a variety of digital materials. Additionally, students can utilize an exclusive Marketplace, which allows them to buy textbooks and course materials from third-party sellers at discounted prices. eCampus.com will also provide 24/7 dedicated customer support.
eCampus.com's systems will integrate seamlessly with Banner, SUNY Brockport's Student Information System, to create a tailored ordering process using Single Sign-On (SSO). This unified approach will allow students to conveniently order course materials during registration, streamlining the process as they sign up for classes. Additionally, eCampus.com will offer free shipping to the SUNY Brockport campus store, offering students the convenience of in-store pickup for their course materials.
Through eCampus.com's intuitive adoption platform, faculty are empowered with the academic freedom to research and select the most suitable content, regardless of publisher or platform. The platform also provides powerful adoption metrics and a student readiness dashboard, offering real-time insights into student purchasing behaviors. This allows both administrators and faculty to make informed decisions that foster student success.
eCampus.com will also extend its expertise in retail management by assuming the operation of SUNY Brockport's physical campus store, reimagining the space with expanded SUNY Brockport-branded merchandise. The refreshed campus store will reopen in the summer of 2025 with a new name, SUNY Brockport Campus Store. The store will offer a wide range of apparel, accessories, and gifts designed to fit every budget. It will also serve as a convenient course materials service center to support students with all their textbook and course material needs, including order pickup, seasonal buyback and rental return events, and on-site customer support.
"We are excited about eCampus' online model for providing the course materials that students need in the format they want at the best price possible, and for their strategy to source popular and affordable merchandise for our campus community," said BASC Executive Director, Bill McNamara. "We look forward to this partnership and to seeing our faculty, staff, alumni, and students proudly sporting SUNY Brockport apparel from our campus store!"

Eagles add a rising star in the analytics world to Howie Roseman's staff
Eagles add a rising star in the analytics world to Howie Roseman's staff Philadelphia is big on analytics and are hiring a rising star in the data world, adding Smit Bajaj as a quantitative analyst The NFL used to be a ground-and-pound, defense-wins championships type of league, but those days are long gone, replaced by analytics and next-gen stats. The NFL's love for analytics has grown immensely, and Eagles owners Jeffrey Lurie and Joe Banner have played a massive role in shepherding a new era of statistics-based football. We had some observations before we got into the league; basic things that nobody was challenging,'' Banner said. 'Things like the whole notion that you had to run early and couldn't throw off play-action without running early, and the notion that you had to wear down the other team by running. 'Things that, to this day, many people still say and believe. You'd talk to people and ask them why, and nobody really had an answer. And they weren't going to listen to two guys like us who were being identified, and frankly, demonized at the time, as non-football guys.'' Lurie hired three staffers from MIT after purchasing the Eagles. The rest is history, as Banner passed down his vision to a young Howie Roseman, who has carried the mantle while adding his genius to the methodology. Lurie and Banner helped Philadelphia and other teams move away from primarily running the football on first downs while utilizing innovative theories that currently carry the NFL. The Eagles are adding another rising talent in analytics. Seth Walder reports that the team has hired Smit Bajaj as a quantitative analyst. He'll start with the team in July. Walker reports that Bajaj was part of the winning Big Data Bowl team this year for a project in which he and a partner built a Transformer-based model predicting man/zone coverage in the presnap that peaked at 89% accuracy before the snap, and 93% 1 sec after the snap. ESPN previously cited the Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens, and Eagles as the three most analytically advanced teams. They also finished 1-2-3 for the highest level of analytics work and incorporated their analytics into decision-making. The six teams ranked last in using analytics were the Las Vegas Raiders, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Chicago Bears, the Atlanta Falcons, and the Arizona Cardinals.

Ready for some good WA budget news? Local school leaders happy with spending plan
As state lawmakers await final approval of their proposed budget for the 2026 and 2027 fiscal years, superintendents at Pierce County school districts say that the roughly $36 billion in the budget for education addresses some of their top concerns, but they cautioned against relying on funding K-12 education via local levies. Education takes up nearly half of the roughly $77 billion two-year spending plan, and some superintendents at school districts in Pierce County said the roughly $5 billion in appropriations for special-education programs will address a strong need. Both the Washington Association of School Administrators, also known as WASA, and State Superintendent Chris Reykdal have said that special-education funding was among their top priorities for the 2025 legislative session. As costsrise due to inflation, school leaders were also happy to see lawmakers increase funding for materials, supplies and operating costs – a category also known as MSOC. University Place School District Superintendent Jeff Chamberlin said the special education and MSOC funding will help districts equitably because they'll receive funding based on the size of their student population. 'I feel like in this session, with this economic reality that the state is facing, the majority of the additional money that they put towards education, the additional policy funding for education, they did the right thing,' Chamberlain told The News Tribune. 'They put it in special education, and they put it in material supplies and operating costs, which is exactly what they should've done.' Superintendent Ron Banner of Clover Park School District said the changes to special-education funding and MSOC could help Clover Park particularly because the district needed an additional $14.6 million from its own coffers to cover costs in those two categories in 2024. 'Imagine what we could do if we had that $14.6 million and we spent it on student enrichment?' Banner told The News Tribune. Both Chamberlin and Banner said small to mid-sized districts like theirs, which serve communities with smaller tax bases than cities like Tacoma and Seattle, suffer when state lawmakers prioritize funding schools using local, property tax-based levies, and they said they'd like to see officials move away from such a funding model in future budget discussions. Though not in the budget, Chamberlin cited a bill passed by the Legislature last month, House Bill 2049, which increased the maximum amount for a local levy that school districts might put to voters to raise more tax revenue. Sponsored by the House Committee on Finance, the bill seeks to address inequity that the levy-lid increase could facilitate by offering smaller districts more funding in other areas, but Chamberlin said it's not enough to counteract the increased levy lid. He said state officials should move towards collecting tax revenue from across the state and distributing it to school districts based on need, to ensure that districts in lower-income areas with lower property values don't see their budget woes exacerbated by their circumstances. 'Some districts are able to raise almost nothing for each of their students in those formulas, while other districts, the wealthier districts that have more valuable property, are able to raise much, much more money,' he said. WASA agreed. 'As school districts face increasing financial difficulties, however, school administrators have ongoing concerns about the state's K–12 funding structure that must be addressed,' the association cautioned in their 2025 legislative priorities. Reykdal said in a statement issued after the close of the 2025 legislative session on April 27 that the state Legislature has tasked his office with finding a more 'adequate and equitable' funding model for K-12 education in Washington. 'I look forward to updating this analysis and providing the Governor and lawmakers with a roadmap that moves our state beyond the very bare minimum of investments that are contained in the current 'prototypical' funding model,' Reykdal's statement reads.
