| NEW: Student referral contest |
| Tell a friend! We’ve launched a student referral contest, open for all students who have already applied for a seat in the summer school.
Here’s the deal: spread the word about the summer school to your friends and colleagues, have them mark YOU as the person who referred them to apply (there’s now a field in the application form), and win a handsome prize! The student with most accepted referred students will claim a surprise reward at one of the (many) parties during the summer school. We don’t know what the prize is just yet, but trust as, it’ll be good 🙂 So get to referring! |
