Dillard University will compete in Honda Campus All-Star Challenge (HCASC), the HBCU National Quiz Championship. HCASC is the first-ever academic quiz competition designed for students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The questions cover everything: from traditional academic areas, including business, science, literature, history, geography, religion, philosophy, social sciences and the arts to current events, general knowledge, sports and popular culture. African American history and culture is also featured.
Dillard University is among eighty-nine HBCUs eligible for this year’s Honda Campus All-Star Challenge. Competition at Dillard University begins with the Power Search, scheduled for Wednesday, November 30, 2011 between 10 am – 5 pm in the Professional Studies and Sciences Building Room 110. A Power Search is a quick 30 question quiz which students can take to see what type of information is asked in HCASC questions. The Power Search is used to recruit the best, brightest and fastest players for Dillard University’s HCASC team. All students who compete in the Power Search are eligible for selection as a member of the varsity squad. This is the LAST opportunity for students to take the Power Search. Our varsity squad could advance to the National Championship Tournament, which will take place in Los Angeles, CA. The Nationals, featuring 48 HBCUs, is the academic competition version of “March Madness.”
The best and the brightest shine playing Honda Campus All-Star Challenge, the HBCU National Quiz Championship. Since 1989, 75,000+ students have used their brainpower and buzzer-skills to earn their schools over $6 million in grants from Honda. Honda Campus All-Star Challenge is sanctioned by the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) and the Association of College Unions International (ACUI).
