Hope you are enjoying the sunshine, finding some breaks from finals!

We had a lot of awesome virtual events this year, but, these events don't cost a lot of money. So to give back to you all we are doing a big giveaway draw!

We will be giving out 3 headsets to help you with your virtual classes and beyond.

• Sony XM3
• AirPods Pro
• HyperX Cloud II

We will be giving 2 prizes to a statistics or actuary science major, and one to anyone in a stats class (everyone on this mailing list should fit one of those two categories)

The draw will be made April 20th at noon PST!
