To quote Jacob O'Rourke from last year:

it's that time of year again where people start to hear back from transfer applications, grad school apps, job offers, landlords, etc. and make plans to go places. Here is a thread in which current college players or members of the college quizbowl community can post where they'll be next. Please post only if you have something definite to share, though that includes things besides "I am going to x and such school for [Degree]"; more general notes on moving to a new metropolitan area as a non-student/non-player/employee interested in continuing to staff or do outreach, etc.

I guess I'll begin by noting that nothing is changing for me...

I just wanted to put this thread out there since I'd seen a few people talking about where they were going.

I will be going to Queen’s University for a one year bachelor of education. It’s not conditional on graduating my masters, but I sure hope I can do so before August, cutting any ties I may still have with Les Chevaliers de McGill.

I'll be staying in Chicago and applying to grad school (which means I've finished taking the classes I needed to take to do so, so I will not be in school next year).

I graduated from Maryland in December and I've been living in Palo Alto for my full-time job as a software engineer for about a month so far. I'm down to staff local tournaments, though without a car I'll probably need a ride to staff anywhere besides Stanford.

I'm done and will be moving to northern New Jersey. Happy to help out with things in the greater tri-state area as my schedule allows. Given that I won't be in grad school anymore and will be moving from a boarding school to a day school, I should have much more free time than in the past two years.

As my signature, online activity, and malevolent demeanor have indicated, I am joining the Evil Empire for a PhD.

This is somewhat old news, but I'm super excited to be at Columbia for the next two years at their MBA program! Looking forward to getting to know the team better and playing a couple of awesome seasons of quizbowl

Posted: **Tue Mar 19, 2019 12:02 pm**

I'm starting a PhD in Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Will I be there for 4 years? 6? 8? Stay tuned. In any case, I plan to play for as long as my schedule allows.

after a 2-year hiatus, i'll be going to harvard in the fall to do a 1-year tech and education masters.

Heading to Pitt after a gap year.

I have accepted my offer for graduate studies at Penn State. Although I admittedly don't foresee myself as being committed to the point of attending every practice and playing for the A team, I would like to attend practices regularly, help out when needed, and mentor newer team members.

People of Penn State Quizbowl: I'm excited to join your community!

I am starting a MlIS at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where I assume I’ll be for two years.

Posted: **Mon Apr 08, 2019 9:16 pm**

I will be starting a Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Austin this fall. I will be here for 2 years (presumbably) and plan to keep playing quiz bowl as much as my schedule allows!

Posted: **Fri Apr 12, 2019 2:02 am**

I will be doing a two year Masters of Applied Mathematics at the University of Colorado Boulder starting in the fall

Posted: **Sun Apr 14, 2019 1:36 pm**

I will be starting a PhD in chemistry at Michigan in the fall. Continued quizbowl involvement TBD.

Posted: **Mon Apr 15, 2019 1:01 pm**

I will be starting a PhD at the University of Chicago this fall. I don't intend to play but I'll be happy to staff things.

Posted: **Mon Apr 15, 2019 1:08 pm**

I will be attending West Virginia University for a 2-year MA program in Public History starting in the fall. May try to get quizbowl going there depending on my time availability and motivation.

Posted: **Mon Apr 15, 2019 1:11 pm**

Going to SMU for a postdoc working on the DESI experiment. I will probably be around the Dallas area to staff things if asked and am always open to join open teams looking for some science help.

Posted: **Mon Apr 15, 2019 2:40 pm**

I'm doing my master's degree in cello performance at the New England Conservatory in Boston.
This is likely the end of my playing career, but I would be happy to staff a tournament or two in the area if I have a free weekend.

Posted: **Mon Apr 15, 2019 2:40 pm**

I have elected to continue my academic study of the dismal science by entering a PhD program at UC San Diego. Of course, I will aim to staff events in the area and if UCSD B or C needs a player with sports knowledge and proximate "knowledge" of various other topics including economics, I may play.

Posted: **Mon Apr 15, 2019 2:55 pm**

I will be starting an two-year MA program at UChicago's Divinity School. I intend to continue to play.

It may be simpler to just start a "Post here if you are not going to Illinois for school next year (Collegiate 2019)" thread.

I am going to WUStL's Brown School of Social Work to get a 2-year MSW degree. Their program will allow me to reach a years-long dream of being a Professional Person Who Talks About Sex All the Time.

I'm not sure if my program will allow me time to play, study, or travel but I expect that I'll at least be around and showing my lovely face as I staff area events, at minimum.

Remind me once the season gets closer to being started and I'll make sure invites for area events are sent your way.

Guess what, I will also be looking forward to being a foot soldier of the Evil Empire

while working on a J.D. at UChica-

Just kidding. Pahk da cah in Hahvahd (Lah School) Yahd. Look forward to being as involved there as allowed by studies and by the state of affairs of life ambitions being a thing I actually have now.

To say that I'm excited is... a strong understatement

Continuing my strong tradition of getting degrees from schools that win major NCAA championships, I will be enrolled at UVA starting this fall semester.

I work full time and have a baby and things now, so my availability for quiz bowl will be hit or miss --- but I live in C-ville, so I'm happy to catch up with the UVA program for things when I can.

Posted: **Mon May 20, 2019 1:17 am**

I am not the most relevant quizbowler and this is down the road, but i was accepted to the Booth Scholars program and will be beginning either my MBA or (hopefully) JD/MBA at U Chicago in 2021. I would like to find the time and opportunity to connect with the team and play.

Posted: **Wed May 22, 2019 8:29 pm**

I'm substantially less relevant than Thatcher (or most everyone else), but I'll be at Duke for the next 4 or 5 years, so let me know if there are big events in the area that might need extra staffers. I can't promise availability (or that I'll be good), but I'd like to stay part of the community, so I'll do what I can.

I graduated from Penn and am working as a software engineer in Boston. Quizbowl career mostly over but happy to play open tournaments / staff in the New England/Mid-Atlantic area!

I graduated from the University of Maryland and will be starting a PhD in history at Indiana University. I am hoping to get a team going there again. If anyone is going to IU and is interested please email me at [email protected].

I'll still be in the Philly area (though I'm moving to the suburbs) and will try to make myself as available as possible to staff events in the area.

I also anticipate continuing to teach courses at Harcum College in the fall and will renew my efforts to found some sort of quizbowl team there in addition to outreach to other CCs and small college programs in the region.

Posted: **Tue Jul 09, 2019 3:33 pm**

I will be starting graduate studies at Penn State this fall.

I'm not sure how much I will be playing, but I look forward to joining Penn State's quizbowl community! I do expect to attend practices regularly, and I'm definitely interested in helping out the club through staffing or in any other capacity. To anyone from Penn State quizbowl, please feel free to get in touch with me.
