Dr. Julia Frederick, Honors Program director, said the annual conference was the perfect place for them to put their knowledge to the test.
鈥淟CHC is a time for students to share research, ideas, and energy with honors students from across the state. And I am always happy to see them bring home the Quiz Bowl trophy,鈥 she said.
In addition to the Quiz Bowl tournament, the conference included research presentations, a talent show, discussion forums, and guest speakers.
