DESCRIPTION OF LIVE/SILENT AUCTION:

The live auction takes place throughout the night, starting at 7:00pm, and will no doubt be the most fun aspect of the evening! In several different rounds, you will have the opportunity to bid on our most exciting and desirable items under the direction of The Harris School's very own auctioneer Professor Don Coursey. Professor Coursey will be utilizing two different auction types:

The silent auction will also offer a chance to bid on dozens of exciting items. It begins at the start of the event and will close at a pre-announced time (prior to the last round of the live auction). In the silent auction, participants submit bids near the item of their choice and continue to out-bid each other until the bidding period is brought to a close. At the end of the silent auction, the highest bidder pays the price they submitted. (Bidders may bid more than once.)
