This challenge will take place this weekend, Nov. 18-19. If you don’t have anything to do this weekend and would like to support our students, please join us for any amount of time. Northrop Grumman employees will volunteer throughout the night. You will have an opportunity to network with them while supporting our students. We do need judges on Saturday from 2pm to 4pm. See attached event flyer and attached schedule/judging info. If you would like to volunteer for any amount of time, we have a special need for SDSU judges, please complete the volunteer form <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfK2xZ5gl_AGilr_qA-zMrBlMZ7qlZIHQSLE3U7oBojNm5c4g/viewform?c=0&w=1">here</a>. Please share this with your graduate students as well; they can volunteer to be a judge. If you have any outstanding seniors in your classes or that you work with, they could judge as well; if not participating in the event as a competitor, of course.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Thank you very much for your consideration and support.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>-- <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:8.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Theresa M.
