Announcing the VCS scavenger hunt, starting now

Posted by on Aug 30, 2016 in Campus Life, Events, General VCS Info, Other, VCS Students | No Comments

To celebrate the start of the new academic year, we’re holding a scavenger hunt for all incoming and returning students in the Visual & Critical Studies program. In the competition, two-person teams will take selfies showing both team members at specified locations and will post them to Instagram or Twitter with a special hashtag; the first two teams to achieve the contest’s goal before the deadline will win a prize (see below for details). The contest begins today, and all current VCS students are invited to participate.

Here are the instructions. Good luck!
