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 eighth weekly drawing occurred on Monday, Nov. 1. The full list of prizes and the winners' units included:
- $50 K-State Student Union gift cards went to employees in Housing and Dining Services, K-State Research and Extension, the College of Veterinary Medicine, the College of Business Administration, the College of Health and Human Sciences, Parking Services, Lafene Health Center, the College of Education and the College of Agriculture.
