Hello All, The Madness of March is upon us! GSO has organized a Chem E bracket challenge through ESPN where you can make your predictions for the 2019 NCAA men's basketball tournament in a friendly competition against your peers. No NCAA basketball knowledge is required to participate. Claire Nimlos is our reigning champion as she successfully implemented a strategy last year in which she picked teams based on how cute their animal's mascot was and finished in the 93rd percentile in the entire world! We will find out this year if that strategy is sustainable or if someone else can dethrone Claire. If you would like to participate and win bragging rights amongst the department you must fill out and submit your bracket before 12:00 pm this Thursday. This can be done following the instructions below. Instructions 1. Go to espn.com 2. Make a free ESPN account 3. Click on the link below 4.
