Match Day for the Class of 2012
Friday, March 16th - 12:00 pm
Campus Center, Room 450
Class of 2011's Katherine MacDonald & Sarah Kamel
(Tentative) Agenda for Class of 2012:
Students will being the day with an "exit interview" with Jose Espada at 9:00 a.m. in Emerson Hall. This is required for all students that have taken out student loans. Students will then head over to the Campus Center, Room 450 and at 12:00 p.m. (the earliest the NRMP will allow) the match results will be distributed. The students traditionally place a $1 bill in a bucket that is located on stage when their name is called and they pick up their envelope. As a reward for waiting patiently, the last person to have his/her name drawn Wins the entire amount! Students have the option of sharing their match results with the crowd or taking their envelope and open it privately.
If you do not want your envelope placed with the rest of the Class or are a "couples-match" please contact Dennis Deal.
