SPHA students participate in Scholar Bowl

Five students from the Student Public Health Association (SPHA) participated in the Quiz Bowl event during the Public Health Scholar Bowl held at Saint Louis University on April 6, 2019.  Braden Zoller, Ashton King, Bansari Amin, Leah Wright, and Amy Kang competed against teams from Johns Hopkins University, Temple University, Emory University, and Brown University for total points in the event.  Quiz bowl competition involves knowledge, conviction, and luck.  The trick is hear just of the question to answer it before the other team does. Sometimes a question can only be answered if the entire question is read.  The Truman team had fun and placed ninth out of the 14 teams competing in the event.  Dr. Janice Clark is the SPHA faculty sponsor and took the team to the event.
