You get a $5 gift card to Chick-fil-A.

I’m Donde Plowman, I’m the chancellor, and I want to thank you for wearing your mask. I mean it. Thank you.

$5 to Chick-fil-A.

Hey y’all! You’re just the two people I want to see.

I’m giving out gift cards to people wearing their masks.

Oh thank you. Okay, so thank you for wearing your mask. Of course!

Thank you!

Thank you for helping us, going along with the rules.

I know you’ve been getting emails from me about…. ‘don’t party off campus’. So today I’m out rewarding everyone. Yeah, rewarding kids for it. Thank you. Awesome.

(upbeat music)

It’s weird that we have to do all this but we’ll get past it right. So hang in there. Thank you!

Thank you for wearing your mask.

$5 for Starbucks. Thank you!

Two…three.
