Each day during DelaWorld, one lucky family will receive a $400 gift certificate for a spending spree at the Bookstore and can select whatever they want--UD sweatshirts, T-shirts or hats, items featuring the ever popular mascot YoUDee, stuff for dorm rooms, classroom supplies or whatever else interests them, according to Jennifer Galt, UD Bookstore manager.
Galt doubles as a photographer and takes pictures when the family is selected. Afterward, the families are asked to e-mail an “after photo” of their UD makeover, displaying their Bookstore finds. The photos are posted online, and UDaily readers can vote for their favorites from Aug. 1-15. The winning family's student will get all the textbooks needed for fall classes.
Families are excited about their students coming to UD at DelaWorld, and this is the Bookstore's way of participating in spreading UD school spirit, Galt said.
