Competition marks the start of International Week

2/23/2010

To kick off International Week activities, a global themed Jeopardy game was held in the Yellowjacket Union on Feb. 22.
 
There were five teams of four people and about twenty fans watching them compete. The five teams were Campus Life, Student Ambassadors, Thai plus 1, Mtn. 8845, and Improv.
 
After the first round the game was close but by the end of double Jeopardy, Campus Life had pulled so far ahead that even with final Jeopardy no team was able to catch them. At the end of the night Campus Life held the trophy high. The event was very educational but at the same time it was great fun had by all.
