Set Sail for Rohrbach’s Open House on September 19th!
Published September 12, 2017 Information 2 Comments
Avast Me Hearties! Did you know that September 19th is Talk Like a Pirate Day? More importantly, it’s Rohrbach Library’s open house day! Come to the library between 10-4 and explore our building and our resources (human, physical, and digital). You can even be a cool Golden Bear like Avalanche by snapping some selfies at our pirate-themed photo booth area.
Prizes: We will have goodies and giveaways around the library on the 19th from 10-4. KU students who accurately complete our 10-question orientation form are also entered into a prize drawing.
This year’s GRAND PRIZE is Beats Solo3 Wireless Headphones!
Special thanks to the local business who have donated prizes for this event. We appreciate your generosity!!!
Participation: Anyone can participate in this event, but only KU students are eligible for the prize drawing. If you are a professor or group who would like to use this event for course credit or as a student organization requirement, there will be a place on the student form for course or organization information. Once we compile all the forms, we will let you know which of your students participated. Please let us know if you will be offering/requiring participation, though. It helps us to know how many forms to print.
Due Date: This year, students will have until Monday, September 25st at 4p.m. to turn in the orientation forms. This allows students several days to print and complete the questions if they couldn’t make it to the open house, and it gives them a chance at participation credit and/or the prize drawing!
For more information about our open house, please contact:
