And the winner is:

In the excitement of Orientation Week, I forgot to announce the winner of the iPad!

We had close to 300 comments on the blog, with each comment earning ONE ticket into the raffle. Patrick Naick just happened to be in McCabe at the time of drawing, and he pulled KIM PIERSON's entry out of the pile. Kim is the new owner of an iPad mini + case. Congratulations!

Thanks to everyone who participated. I enjoyed reading the vast perspectives in comments!
