SMARTEN UP at Kwantlen... Earn A Degree And Win A Car!

METRO VANCOUVER, BC – (September 8, 2011) – One lucky person will drive away in one of Canada’s smartest vehicles as a result of Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s SMARTEN UP campaign. Kwantlen is offering its students and the broader community the chance to win a 2011 smart fortwo coupe, and no, you don’t have to stand on your head to do it!

“We wanted to offer students something that they could really use and of course, get excited about,” says Nicole Lotz, manager, marketing and communications at Kwantlen. “It also coincides perfectly with our commitment to provide outstanding student experiences through our teaching, support programs, services and systems that enhance and enrich student life.”

The draw is simple to enter. From now until March 1, 2012 enter online at kwantlen.ca/smartenup. At the end of the campaign, 10 finalists will be notified and each will be given the opportunity to ‘start’ the vehicle with a randomly drawn key. As they say, if the key fits, drive it!

Kwantlen Polytechnic University has been serving the Metro Vancouver region for 30 years, and has opened doors to success for more than 200,000 people. Four campuses—Richmond, Surrey, Cloverdale and Langley—offer a comprehensive range of sought-after programs, including business, liberal arts and science, design, health, trades and technology, apprenticeships, horticulture, and academic and career advancement. Over 17,000 students annually have a choice from over 135 programs, including bachelor’s degrees, associate degrees, diplomas, certificates and citations.
