The College Media Preferences survey has been closed since Friday, Nov 12. Twelve winners have been selected for gift cards to LB’S campus store valued at $50, and one winner has been named for the grand prize of $200 to the campus store. These winners filled out the survey early, and some of them were even pulled twice over the course of four weeks the survey was open. Digital Marketing Strategist Abby Erickson explains that “students who have completed the survey can absolutely win drawings more than once,” and that she’d “love to hear more from students, as [she is] a newer hire working in social media who is trying to connect with students.”
The winners, Crystal Foster, Alex Clapp, Arisa Yamamura, Sydney Vogt, Fernanda Salas Rodriguez, Jim Harris, Tayla Berry, Bryce Bicknell, Caitlin Deolus, Noel Lundeen. Clapp and Yamamura have won TWO gift cards! The grand prize winner will be announced at a later date.
Along with the exciting news of students winning some good ol’ fashioned ‘cash money,’ the Student Leadership Council has some excitement of their own coming up.
On Nov. 19-20, LB is again hosting their yearly Thanksgiving Food Drive! The times you can drive through to pick up potatoes and a gift card are Friday from 3 pm to 6 pm, or Saturday from10 am through 2 pm. The pickup area will be on Albany campus in the North parking lot near the Luckiamute Building! There will be signs around campus to direct people to the correct spot.
Director of the Center for Accessibility Resources, Carol Raymundo, sent out an email earlier this month announcing the event. She said “100% of all funds raised will provide gift cards and a 10lb bag of potatoes to families. The SLC contributed a substantial amount of donation money for the event and so did other members of our LB community.” The gift card value will be dependent on the family size and the money raised.
Not only is the SLC helping students and faculty, they will also be hosting a study jam at LB’s Learning Center where tutors will be available online to help on Dec. 4, and Dec. 5. Pizza will be provided by the SLC in the Forum to this in person event, where students can study with one another.
Saturday’s jam will start at 10 am and go until 6 pm and Sunday’s session will be from noon to 4 pm. Tutors will be available online for the whole weekend, so be sure to check in for some final, finals studying!
Additionally in the Forum on Dec. 4, the SLC will be hosting Albany’s local rescue shelter, Safe Haven (and furry friends), to share with us animal love, in hopes to get some of these rescues into their forever homes.
A number of OSU’s advanced painters have been invited by our campus to exhibit their art in the South Santiam Hall Art Gallery. The exhibit is titled “Amalgam” and features art from students Will Cope, Katie Le, Marta Nunez, Serena Swanson, Tessa Coffey, Maddie Haugen, Erik Ruby, Scarlet Harrison, Delaney Wilmott, Ashley Maceira, Robin Weis, Michael Heath, and Anastasia Hazel. The art gallery team will have their annual fundraiser through Dec. 1, where you can participate in a silent auction to help continue supporting LBCC’s art galleries.
This Friday at 6 pm there will be an art celebration and talk with these artists over Zoom! Access the link here.
