The University of the Cumberlands Campus Activities Board offers students the chance to win free prizes at the monthly Stock Your Dorm Game Show in Gatliff Chapel. Many prizes have already been given away including a flat screen television, digital camera, storage containers and food, according to Jody Howard, CAB member.
Students have opportunities to win various prizes at Stock Your Dorm.
“For the first one, we bought sheets, towels, storage containers, cleaning supplies...anything they might need to get their room set up for the upcoming school year. This time, we went with food baskets. We also try to give away one big prize at the end of the show. Both times it's been a flat screen TV,” said Lisa Bartram, Student Activities Director.
Students can participate by placing their name in a drawing when they enter the door.
Throughout the show, names are drawn and individuals are called up on stage to participate.
Stock Your Dorm games are compiled from various game shows. Some are individual games similar to “The Price is Right,” and others involve teamwork, explained Sarah Kamalian, CAB member.
“For the most part, we do trivia type games,” said Grant Doepel, CAB Chair, “We have some ideas for upcoming episodes of Stock Your Dorm that are top secret…I promise they will be fun.”
Everyone has an equal chance to play and there are many chances to win each night, Howard said.
"The entire time I was praying to God to not let my name get called, but sure enough when it came to the biggest prize my name was [called] and I won,” said senior and television winner Josh King.
According to Doepel, the goal for Stock Your Dorm was to provide a big monthly event for UC students. It proved to be a success at the first episode during Welcome Week when “we were pleasantly surprised to have a crowd around 300 students and even faculty! It's amazing how many people show up when you can win free prizes,” Doepel said.
Future episodes of Stock Your Dorm are planned for Oct. 20 and Nov. 10 at 8 p.m.
CAB is a student organization that brings in free food or entertainment to the UC campus every Tuesday night, said Howard.
According to Bartram, the Student Activity Fee included in tuition funds CAB and other student activities. For more information on Stock Your Dorm Game Show or CAB, visit the CAB office in the Mid-BCC or email lisa.bartram@ucumberlands.edu.
