The Beacon Prize Patrol is at it again! Thanks to the generous donation by Student Involvement, Obum and a lucky friend are going to see Fluffy, Gabriel Igelsias, when he comes to the Patriot Center on October 17th. Obum was pleasantly surprised when the Beacon Prize Patrol visited his MATH 113 class to announce he had won the pair of tickets… all for taking the Beacon survey!

The Beacon Prize Patrol visited one special section of PSYC 100 that had TWO randomly-selected Beacon winners! Nena A. was the proud winner of a Sky Smart Pen that records everything she writes and hears! This is sure to be an effective tool for her academic success. Francesca D. also came out a winner yesterday – she took home a fresh new pair of Urban Ears headphones!

Congratulations to the winners! There are more prizes to be won… be sure to take the Beacon survey if you haven’t already.

Our First Beacon Survey Winner!

Congratulations to Minhvu V.! Minhvu is the proud winner of one-semester of FREE parking! Minhvu, an off-campus student, attended a High 5 event sponsored by Off-Campus Student Programs and Student Academic Affairs, Retention, and Transitions, that helped promote the Beacon survey. When the Beacon survey launched on Sunday evening, Minhvu promptly took the survey and made himself eligible for this amazing prize.

The Beacon Prize Patrol stopped by Minhvu’s BIOL 305 class this afternoon, thanked him for taking the survey and awarded him with his certificate for free parking, kindly donated by Parking Services. When asked if the Beacon survey was easy to complete, Minhvu agreed, “Yes!” as we reminded his classmates that there are still plenty of chances to win other great prizes.

Don’t forget, the Beacon survey closes Friday, October 3, 2014!

Special thanks goes to: Orientation and Family  Programs and Services, Off-Campus Student Programs, Parking Services, Student Academic Affairs, Retention, and Transitions, and students like Minhvu that have completed the Beacon survey!

Beacon, Egg & Cheese!

Beacon, Egg & Cheese was a Welcome Week event held on September 27th in the Johnson Center North Plaza. The even provided an opportunity for students to meet faculty and staff involved in Student Success efforts, including the administration and management of Mason’s Beacon survey. Attendees had an opportunity to learn and ask questions about the upcoming Beacon survey, reflect on strategies for success at Mason, and start their morning off right with a hearty breakfast.
Prior to getting breakfast, students were asked to post write a message with a tip for success at Mason, or a goal for the fall semester. Once they have written their message, students will be asked to tweet them, or post on Instagram/Facebook. The pictures below are some of our students posing with their goals and tips for success!
