[IMPORTANT DETAILS]
Students are not required to have their $200 initial housing payment made to be eligible to win. However, before any student can be assigned to a room, the initial housing payment must be paid.
The additional student who is pulled into the room by a winner must have their housing and meal plan agreement signed and paid their $200 initial payment at the time of the room selection. They must also be a new incoming student admitted at BGSU to qualify.
This prize does not offer any discount on the housing rate, and each student assigned to a room through this giveaway will be responsible for the full payment of the room in accordance with their student bill. Cancellations to the agreement by May 1, 2024, will receive a 100% refund and will not be billed. Cancellations after May 1, 2024, will be granted in accordance with the forfeiture schedule.
If the winner does not submit an eligible student to be their roommate by the Office of Student Housing deadline, the remaining space will be forfeited.
Once a student has won one of the 20 prizes, they will no longer be eligible to win the remaining prizes for this giveaway. Students who have agreed to be the roommate of one of the winners will also not be eligible.
The beds selected by the winner and their roommate must be assigned to the same building. Any student who is assigned to a room through this giveaway does not have the right to their room assignment. If one of the students decides to do a room change into a different room/building or cancels their contract, the vacant bed will open up to standard room selection, and a random roommate may be assigned.
Returning students who will be enrolled full-time at BGSU are not eligible to win.
The Office of Student Housing is not responsible for prize notifications being marked as spam, junk or otherwise hidden from the recipient.

Spirit Week
This event is a part of Spirit Week, a time for students to reconnect with BGSU's traditions and celebrate the unmasking of SICSIC and the reveal of Freddie and Frieda.
Dr. Burford will discuss his practice of simultaneous cinema, data visualization, and using AI/machine learning methods within art practice.
Burford's practice covers a number of interlinked areas, with particular focus on information aggregation and the crystallization of the transient domain. He is fascinated by film, more specifically the process of watching images on a screen and the way our eyes read different colour and light.
As cinema becomes increasingly digital and dematerialised in its method of production, content and delivery, there is a consequent drive to return to its material roots in the physical world. Working with a variety of media - 3D printing, painting, video and time-lapse photography - Burford restructures traditional cinematic forms to create new synthetic compositions that describe four-dimensional Space-time.
Many of the works start with the tracing of cinematic time; using customized handmade cameras constructed by the artist. The artist uses these to trace long durational exposures of time through the production of temporal maps. Burford effectively crafts a cinematic score. The flowing bands of colour and abrupt changes in the photographic traces bear a direct indexical relation to the original cinematic material.
The images are the starting point for a series of artistic investigations into the material nature of cinematic memory - combining the use of physical film with modern digital manufacturing processes - a combination which echoes cinema's analogue past history and its present digital hybridity.
If cinema is thought of as the 'flattening' of real physical objects from the actual physical world, to be seen at a later stage (where the experience of time is technically structured and inherently generic) these artworks represent a gesture of returning; an attempt to introduce materiality, physicality and a natural temporality to cinema.
