Bridge breaking!
Thanks for your patience! Tomorrow is the day! Our event will take place @5:30pm in the Faculty Lounge (EN4000) on Wednesday April 3.
Drinks and refreshment will be provided.
We will start with bridge breaking, and then determine the winner and announce awards. Your three judges are: Dr. Amgad Hussein, Dr. Assem Hassan and Dr. Steve Bruneau. It is very hard and lucky that the three judges can make it!
Sorry for the disappointment last week. Hopefully tomorrow’s event can make your day!
See you all tomorrow and good luck.
