Welcome to KSOM! While this semester may be a bit different than most, we want our graduate students to have some fun, get up, move around, and have a chance to win some prizes! To help, we bring to you a KSOM Grad Student scavenger hunt. Grab your phone or tablet and try to find things around your home, outside and online for a chance to win Amazon gift cards!

How it works

Each weekday during the first few weeks of the Fall 2020 semester on the Keck School of Medicine of USC Facebook and Instagram pages, from August 17-September 4, we will share a prompt of something to find and take a photo of. It may be something around your home, outside, or online. For example, you might be asked to share a photo of “someone Fighting On,” or a screenshot of a page of the KSOM Intranet. Follow our Facebook and Instagram pages, and submit your photo and any additional information asked in either a comment to the day’s Facebook post, or on Instagram by tagging @KeckSchoolUSC and using the hashtag #KSOMScavengerHunt by the deadline specified in that post (generally 11:59pm Pacific time for each day’s prompt). You do not have to post to both pages, just the platform that you prefer to use.

The next day, we’ll draw randomly from all submissions for one $10 Amazon card prize winner (delivered electronically). Once you win a $10 gift card, you won’t be eligible for another – BUT you still have a chance at the grand prize …

On September 9th, one GRAND PRIZE winner will be randomly selected to receive $100 in Amazon cash. The winner will be selected at random from all participants who have completed the prompts throughout the scavenger hunt. The more times you participate, the greater your chance at the Grand Prize will be. 

Please feel free to reach out to eric.orvieto@med.usc.edu for an updated list of winners during the scavenger hunt.

Have fun and good luck!
