Winners will be handed their prizes then and there. You can buy raffle tickets in one of two ways:

  • Ahead of the conference: Using Venmo, transfer the dollar amount corresponding to the number of tickets you'd like to buy to @Jens-VanGysel. In the comment, please write how many tickets you wish to buy for which prize. You will receive your paper raffle ticket as you check in to the conference at the registration desk.
  • During the conference: The raffle prizes will be displayed on a table in the atrium on the third floor of the Student Union Building. You can buy paper raffle tickets either with cash or a Venmo transfer to @Jens-VanGysel.
