UL-Lafayette has launched their ‘Don’t Wait. Vaccinate!” incentive program in an effort to make a return to campus as safe as possible for students and staff. Dean of Students Dr. Margarita Perez said they will hold a drawing and give away 10 prizes to fully vaccinated students.
“To rewards students who have already gone out and vaccinated and to encourage students that are on the fence or thinking about it to go ahead and get vaccinated,” said Perez.
Prizes include iPhones, MacBook Airs, and free campus parking. Perez said they have put a lot of thought into the campaign and wanted to offer incentives that appealed to students.
“We got some students together and said what kind of incentives would maybe encourage students to get vaccinated and this is what they came up with,” said Perez.
Perez said UL-Lafayette is one of eight schools in the state taking part in the White House and CDC’s COVID-19 College Vaccine Challenge to educate staff and students about COVID, vaccines, and offer access to vaccinations.
“Making sure that everyone has access to the information, to the incentives to whatever we’re offering on campus for COVID-19 and the vaccination challenge,” said Perez.
The first drawing will be on August 10th and continue through early October.
