GeoJeopardy
GeoJeopardy is an annual Geography department event (held each fall).
It is very similar to the popular television show “Jeopardy” in which contestants answer trivia type questions except that the questions have a distinct geographic flavor and the contestants are all geographers (undergraduate and graduate students primarily).
Three teams of three each compete for prizes that typically come from the National Geographic store (e.g. Concise Atlas of the World, NGS Road Atlas, The Answer Book, etc.).
Door prizes are raffled off after the competition!
