ENTERTAINMENT
KU student wins Super Bowl tickets
Patricia Shaw is going to the Super Bowl.
Shaw, a senior from Olivet, Mich., entered a raffle through the National Society of Collegiate Scholars and won the grand prize — tickets to Super Bowl XLIV.
The raffle was part of a joint venture by NSCS and CODA, a job networking and career search site. More than 300 NSCS members created a profile on CODA, and each were entered into the raffle, said
Janine Deegan, communications coordinator of NSCS.
Shaw, who's taking her father with her to the game, said she usually watched the Super Bowl at home with her friends and family. But for the first time in her life, she'll be able to watch the game in person, something she said she had been looking forward to.
"I'm very excited," Shaw said. "I had entered just to do the business profile -- I didn't expect to win."
