Convocation incentive
We just got an email letting us know about Convocation (the pointless all school rah-rah meeting), with this gem of an incentive:
"All Convocation attendees receive a raffle ticket for priority entry to lunch and a chance to win fun prizes!"
I'm definitely going to convocation now! A chance at priority entry to the free (crappy) lunch!

To make a convocation academically serious, the invited speaker needs to talk on some weighty academics-related topic. Also agree: avoid doing the ridiculous raffle tickets stuff. Are professors fourth graders?
