Overview
Incorporated in 1931, Montana State University Bookstore, Inc. (MSU Bookstore), is a student-faculty owned
cooperative that serves Montana State University and the surrounding Gallatin Valley.
As a student-faculty owned co-op, the MSU
Bookstore seeks to provide the lowest possible pricing on textbooks for our students. This is done through rebating the excess profits of
previous years’ sales back to our student owners through aggressive textbook discounting. This ongoing mission has allowed us to be a
national leader in offering competitive course material prices to our students.
Each MSU Bookstore employee is expected to promote an
atmosphere of courtesy and respect within the MSU Bookstore team by demonstrating positive leadership skills that build up the culture
within the MSU Bookstore. Some of these skills include such things as collaborative problem-solving, calm and inclusive speech, and
practicing a teamwork mindset over a harsh or authoritative delegation style. It is also a baseline expectation that all MSU Bookstore
employees celebrate our customers by engaging, advocating for, and contributing to the feeling of acceptance and inclusiveness for all MSU
Bookstore customers and employees.
