2007 Survey Drawing

Five survey respondents from the December 2006 and Spring Summer 2007 graduating class were randomly selected to receive Amazon.com gift certificates. The winners were:

  1. Heather Martin ($100)
  2. Shane LaFave ($50)
  3. Matthew Vicarel ($25)
  4. Carolyn Newland ($25)
  5. Mary Russel ($25)

The drawing took place at the Career Development Center staff meeting on Wednesday, April 2, 2008 at 11:00am.

Staff members present were (clockwise around table): Diane Crist, Paul Strickland, Chad Kluck, Suzy Merkling, Jennifer Rogers, Mike Merabella, and Erin Koolen.

Each survey was assigned a unique three-digit ID number (001- 517). For the drawing, three sets of colored chips were placed in three separate cups. The first cup contained 6 red chips numbered 0-5, the second cup contained 10 white chips numbered 0-9 and the third cup contained 10 blue chips also numbered 0-9. A red chip was always drawn first, white second, and blue third in order to create a three digit number corresponding to an assigned survey ID number. For example: red 3, white 4, and blue 2 became the number 342 and red 0, white 3, blue 3 became 033.

The numbers for the top $100 prize were drawn first, $50 second, and lastly the 3 remaining $25 prizes.

There were 543 eligible entries of the 547 returned. Four anonymous surveys were thrown out as they were not eligible for the drawing.

Drawing winners were contacted by phone (if available) and E-mail on April 4 and will be mailed their gift certificates by April 8 through mail.

The 2007 Post Graduation Survey Report will be released and viewable on this Web site in late April. Thank you to all alumni who participated.
