also as students pledged in interview, they are still waiting for the wild card spot confirmation (each region has two teams automatically into world finals and this region has been receiving a wild card spot in recent years and each university can only send one team, so although uvic is behind one ubc and two stanford teams, uvic is the only hopeful for the wild card)
meanwhile, we will have to start fund raising for the team. i will squeeze as much as possible from sue and tom, but we will still have to get local and corporate sponsorship to fill the gap. if you have any hints, leads, suggestions and whatsoever to help us attract sponsorship on/off-campus, community or corporate, please let me know. thanks a lot
