🦆 We thought we had our ducks all in a row for the Fall semester.....Then they wandered off!

Starting tomorrow, August 19th, 20 ducks will be hiding around campus each week. Find one, turn it in to the Learning Commons, and claim a prize! 🎁

A few rules: ✅ One duck per student per week ✅ Have fun
✅ Let others enjoy the hunt too

May the odds be ever in your feathered favor. 🦆
