Hi everyone! Reminder that OPTRA is this FRIDAY!! OPTRA (One Party To Rule them All) is a med school tradition where M4s host a party to fundraise for their graduation events. Not only is it a way to meet your peers in all years, but is also an excuse to escape the stresses of school and have fun! Tickets: $40 We know this is steep, but with a ticket, you get an open bar and kegs, Krispy Kreme donuts, pizza, a hot chocolate bar, and a live DJ. Additionally, with the purchase of this ticket, you will be entered in a draw for a Patagonia sweater with the medical school logo on it. We have two medium fleece Patagonia sweaters, one black and one white. The winner will be announced at OPTRA! +1s are allowed and will have to purchase a ticket as well. The event is APRES SKI theme, which means dress for the slopes! Wear your best goggles, retro sweaters, earmuffs, toques, ski pants or anything you can find! Make sure to dress for the weather as the drinks, food and DJ will be outside.
