From the Director
Happy Monday! Kudos to the Chiefs for an awesome Trivia Bowl and we hope it was a great Friday for our intern class! Many thanks to the JARs and SARs for making the day and night run smoothly on all the teams. Most certainly one of the many things I love about this program.
This week is the final week before “Spring Forward” (aka, a great night to be working nights) – plan for more light in the evenings, a couple of weeks of some serious pollen and MARCH MADNESS. Of all the seasons, MARCH MADNESS is one of my favorites. We will end the season with our rematch against UNC IM Res in CAMERON INDOOR on April 7th !! Let’s go. Chief LonZ has all the details and we just can’t wait.
Kudos
