Alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and adults must pay $30 to attend, Graduate and Ph.D. students $10, and all undergraduate students can access the event for free.

Students will also have the chance to win prizes during the event, including Apple AirPods, a Nintendo Switch, an Amazon Bluetooth speaker, and much more!
“I definitely want to play some of the games, especially blackjack and slots,” Lake Front reporter, Gabriel Cook said. “The prizes they have displayed to win are also pretty cool. I would love to win the flat-screen TV.”
Besides bringing students, parents, and alumni together for fun and prizes, proceeds from the event will benefit the Annual Fund.
“The OLLU Annual Fund is the university’s annual giving program that provides a significant source of immediate impact…” Director of Alumni and Advancement Relations, Debora Perez, said. “The OLLU Annual Fund is the life-source of the university, providing mission-driven, bottom-line support to every vital area of OLLU.”
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, OLLU is taking all necessary precautions during the Casino Night event.
