Patrick Vaughn, film and media studies junior and UPB general member, won an iPhone speaker dock in the U-Card grand prize drawing for the spring 2012 semester. Vaughn won out of nearly 50 students who had entered the drawing.
UPB coordinates a prize drawing at the end of each semester for participants in their U-Card rewards program. Any OU student can participate in the program by picking up a U-Card at most UPB events and meetings. Students earn punches on their card by attending UPB activities and once they fill up a card with 10 punches, they can enter their name in to the grand prize drawing. There is no limit to the number of cards a student can enter in the drawing: the more events they attend, the greater their chance of winning. Students also get other prizes throughout the year like T-shirts, through their participation in the program. Vaughn, like many U-Card holders, filled up several cards during the spring semester by actively attending UPB events. However, any student has a chance at winning. The grand prize winner of the fall semester received a 2o inch LCD TV and won with only one card in the drawing.
Vaughn is originally from Yukon, Oklahoma and transferred to OU from OSU Oklahoma City for his junior year. He became involved in UPB during the fall 2011 semester by coming to events and then attending the bi-weekly UPB general interest meetings. Soon, he was volunteering at events and by the spring semester he was vice chair of UPB’s concert series.
“The Union Programming Board gave me the encouragement and opportunity to be involved on campus at the University of Oklahoma,” Vaughn said. “After attending a few of their events, I quickly learned that there was an event and place for all types of personalities. This unification of personalities and easy going atmosphere instantly attracted me and made me feel at home on campus.”
