According to an email from Dean Hinkson, a select number of tickets to Barnard's 2012 Commencement are being given away in a lottery [insert Hunger Games joke here].
But don't fret Columbia students-- there's good news ahead! It turns out you don't even need to win a lottery ticket for the pity party going down from now until Barnard's commencement!
Dear Barnard Student,
With all the excitement about having President Obama speak at Barnard's 2012 Commencement, I'd like to offer you the opportunity to put your name in a lottery for a ticket to attend the Ceremony on May 14th. Please complete the survey https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/embeddedform?formkey=dEk2TFBuSTNDNzlSRk1Hck04UWpoM2c6MQ to participate. The Lottery will close on Wednesday May 2nd at 5pm. Winners will be notified via email by Monday May 7th.
