World Scholar's Cup GC Regional Round - 1st Place Overall!

It is my pleasure to advise you that our Honours students did extremely well at this year’s WSC GC Regional Round.

We placed 1st in the Academic challenges, including:

Context - the WSC consists of 4 main academic events + social/entertainment/Korean-television-variety-show events:

Scholar’s Challenge (multiple choice exam)
Collaborative Writing
Team Debate
Scholar’s Bowl (team quiz conducted as per the genre of Korean-television-variety-shows i.e., historically, WSC was created in South Korea in 2007 by a university student, “Daniel Berdichevsky is the program's founder and Alpaca-in-Chief. In high school, he achieved the highest score in the history of the U.S. Academic Decathlon; he has been a professional nerd ever since”.
Plus, the GC Round includes a *Scholar’s Show (talent show)
