Submitted by Division of Communications and Marketing
Kansas State University faculty and staff can win prizes — including Apple Watches, Apple MacBook Pros, K-State Union gift cards and more — by getting the COVID-19 vaccination.
Every week the university draws names of faculty or staff members who meet the following requirements:
- Have been fully vaccinated or have completed their first dose of a two-dose series with the second dose scheduled.
- Have filled out the vaccination incentive program survey.
Weekly prize drawings will continue every Monday through Nov. 22. A list of prizes by level is available on the K-State COVID-19 website.
The sixth weekly drawing occurred on Monday, Oct. 18. The full list of prizes and the winners' units included:
- $50 K-State Student Union gift cards went to employees in the Carl R. Ice College of Engineering, Lafene Health Center, the College of Business Administration, Housing and Dining Services, the Division of Facilities and K-State Research and Extension.
- An Apple Watch went to an employee in the College of Education.
Vaccination is the best protection against COVID-19. K-State continues to strongly encourage all students, faculty and staff who can receive a COVID-19 vaccine to do so.
