Trivia Night in Farmer

UPC Hosts Black History Trivia

by: Madison Imbusch

        UPC held a trivia night in honor of black history month.  On Thursday evening, students gathered in Farmer Hall to compete in a multiple choice black history trivia game.  They logged onto Kahoot.it on their smartphones in order to connect to the game.  The questions came on the big screens in Farmer, but students had to answer on their phones. 

            The person to answer the most questions right in the shortest amount of time wins the game. Several rounds of trivia went on for about an hour.  The reward for each winner was monetary, but the amount varied.  At the end, one girl shrieked with glee when she won $100.  Jacob Gordon, UPC coordinator, said, “The reaction we got at the end when she won the $100 was pretty nice.  She got up and screamed, and she was shaking her friend and threw her off to go get the money.”

            Students seemed to enjoy Moe’s food and complementary music as they learned more about the important people and laws in black history.  Whether leaving with money in their pockets or not, students did live with a knowledge of black history.
