The UNF University Center was buzzing with anticipation when more than 150 students converged for a night of fast paced, high stakes international trivia known as the Admiral Jonathan T. Howe Academic WorldQuest competition. For these students, more is on the line than just their pride: the winning team receives an all-expenses-paid trip to Washington, D.C. to compete in the national Academic WorldQuest tournament.
Fueled by a desire to claim the top prize (and perhaps one too many pieces of candy from local favorite Sweet Pete’s) the students gave their all. In the end, the competition was close, with only seconds separating first and second place in the timed tiebreaker lightning round.
Academic WorldQuest was made possible by our generous sponsors, including our 2023 title sponsor, Doolittle Family Foundation. Thanks also to our tech sponsor PS27 Ventures. To learn more about the Academic WorldQuest international trivia competition, please visit our education page.
