The Eberly Biz Wiz Quiz Competition was an academic success, awarding $2,700 in scholarships sponsored by the Wall Street Journal, plus $150 from Eberly College, on November 17, 2021.
In early November, Prashanth Bhardwaj challenged student teams to engage in a multiple-choice exam that tested their basic knowledge of today’s business functional areas, current events, facts/figures, and business trivia. The top four teams then advanced to the final round, which held components of game shows like Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, and Who Wants to be a Millionaire. The final round covered numerous business topics found in the Wall Street Journal, including information about current business and economic events, business leaders, business terminology, multinational companies, business products/services, logos/tag lines/TV advertisements, business strategies, etc.
Throughout the event, many opportunities and Wall Street Journal prizes were granted to over a hundred audience members who interacted and answered questions in between rounds.
