Southeastern Louisiana University is encouraging students to “Don’t Wait. Vaccinate!” with a new incentive plan.
Southeastern President John L. Crain says they launched ‘Don’t Wait. Vaccinate!’ in order to encourage more students to receive the vaccine. Crain added that he strongly encouraged everyone to get the vaccine before returning to campus to help ensure a successful fall semester.
Fully vaccinated students are eligible to win one of 13 prizes in a series of drawings that begins Wednesday, Aug. 11, and continues through early November. Prizes include an all-access semester meal plan, three priority parking passes for the 21/22 academic year, an iPad, Bose earbuds, an Apple Watch, a MacBook Pro and the final prize for the 13th drawing, which is a full spring semester scholarship.
More information, including the schedule of drawings and how to register, is available at www.southeastern.edu/about/safe_campus/covid-19/students/vaccinate/index.html.
All newly vaccinated students will receive a ticket for a free meal at the Mane Dish and, upon receiving the second dose of the vaccine, will receive a free Southeastern t-shirt with the new Lion Spirit Mark on it.
Southeastern is one of eight Louisiana colleges and universities that has joined the COVID-19 College Vaccine Challenge.
