Just wanted to give a shout-out to students coming back from spring break. No worries, we held down the fort here in New Haven. We’ve even got 1st- 3rd places figured out. WhooHoo!
Now, just got to nail down more specifics about the Awards Reception on April 22nd. Time, TBD, but I imagine it would be in the evening. Location, TBD, but it’ll be on-campus. Dress, TBD, but I imagine you’d want to look your best for an awards ceremony! 
A happy Spring Break to all the students out there! We hope you’re able to spend those 2 weeks somewhere warm and sunny. Meanwhile, those of us working on the contest are still in New Haven, holding down the fort.
