Dear students, Due to the approaching of storm on Wednesday night and most students were planing to be out of town soon for the winter break. We decide to postpone the Quiz Bow to the beginning of next semester (probably first two weeks of spring semester). I am sorry for a later notice and we are appreciated for your understanding and support. For those who have already registered you have the eligibility to attend the Quiz Bow in the beginning of next semester; for those who haven't registered or responded, you are also welcome to contact me at any time during the winter break. Please let me know if you have any questions. Again, we are very appreciated for your patience and support. We wish all of you a warm, happy holiday ! Thank you.
