Day-of instructions

When you enter the hotel you will see a set of escalators for the MGM Event Center just to your right.  Take the escalator to the third floor where the ballroom is located.  Your ticket and seat assignment will be at the check-in table.  For those of you who are envelope presenters please report to the head table in the ballroom for your envelopes.

As an envelope presenter, the Student Affairs staff will assign you 1-3 tables. The Match envelopes will be bundled by table number. Your table assignments will be next to each other to make distribution easier.  

Just before noon, a signal will be given, and you will pass out your envelopes to the students.  Once complete, we ask that you remind the students to not open their envelopes before noon sharp.  

At the appointed time, we will have a toast and countdown, and at the end, the students will be free to open their envelopes, learn of their residency placements and begin the celebration!
