Follett Higher Education

Congratulations to our partner of 10+ years, Dartmouth College, on the opening of the new team store Dartmouth Authentic! Mike Harrity, Haldeman Family Director of Athletics and Recreation, says it best: “As we pursue excellence in Dartmouth Athletics, providing this opportunity for passionate Big Green fans to wear the same Nike sideline gear as our coaches and select jerseys from their favorite sports is a game changer. We are excited to team with Follett to elevate our partnership and bring this exciting in-person retail experience to downtown Hanover.” Read more about the new store here: https://lnkd.in/gyeVnpae

We're excited to share the success of Michigan State University's recent Green and White Days, which welcomed over 2,000 incoming students and their families to campus! Our store team was excited to show all MSU has to offer by setting up Campus Living displays to give students a preview of dorm life, hosting a pop-up booth featuring exclusive discounts and games, and launching a new lululemon showcase. Campus visits are a key moment for students, and we're proud to help our partners bring their brands to life for prospective and incoming students.

The team is all smiles at NACUBO’s annual conference in Chicago. Thanks to everyone who joined us at last night’s reception at the Historic American Book Company Building --we had a blast! A special thanks to the campus leaders and partners who visited booth #405 to chat about delivering transformational store experiences for students, alumni, and fans. We’re so inspired by your work!
