ORLANDO, Fla. – A Jeopardy game took place at Valencia’s West Campus on September 17 in the Health Science Building.
There were eight teams of four members who were asked questions on the United States Constitution. The first place winners receive a $75 gift card to the bookstore, second place prize was a $50 gift card, and third place won a $25 gift card.
Visiting Valencia for the first time to host the show was Jim Sheerin from Bevmark Entertainment, which sponsored the game. “I’m nervous, I’m always nervous,” said Sheerin, “I’ve never done the Constitution. It’s a new thing. It’s the students’ show.”
Students also came to the show to watch their fellow peers compete, including Clara Cheney. “Originally, I wanted to sign up,” said Cheney, “I don’t like watching game shows; it’s something to do. I wanted the $75. Money is a good motivation for everything.” Cheney, 20, is studying interdisciplinary studies.
The first place winners were team Model U.N., which consisted of Britton Sprouse, Shawn Roja, Juan Berrocal, and Gene Berrocal.
Sprouse, 22, a general studies major, described how it felt to play and to win when he said, “It feels good. I enjoyed it. It was fun. We represent Model U.N.” First place winners also received a pizza party, in addition to their gift card.
