Get Tested, Get Rewarded

For those who have already been participating in weekly surveillance testing on campus, thank you for helping to keep our campus community safe. And for those who haven’t, now is the time to start.

Beginning this week, everyone who completes a Covid-19 test weekly at a campus surveillance testing location between Sept. 14 and Nov. 12 will be entered into a drawing for a grand prize at the end of the semester. The prize will include a free campus parking permit for the spring semester, donated by Parking and Transportation Services; a private, physically distanced lunch with President Ángel Cabrera; and an Ultimate Game Day Apparel Package donated by Georgia Tech Athletics. All students, faculty, and staff are eligible to win.

To enter, simply get tested at least once a week (for a total of nine weeks) and scan your BuzzCard at the testing site. No other submission is required. The winner will be notified on Nov. 13 and will be required to claim the prize by Nov. 20. Testing more than once a week will not result in additional entries.

Residence Hall Competition

Residence halls also have an opportunity to win a prize for their regular participation in testing. The Residence Hall Association is hosting Treats for Testing, which will award the winning hall a food truck parked outside their building and free meals for all residents.
