Trivia Night Recap🦅
What a night! Trivia Night, hosted by Student Engagement & @womeninleadershipotc, was an absolute blast! Teams of brilliant minds came together, battled it out in an exciting test of knowledge and showed off their skills in categories ranging from music and movies to sports and the special Women in History trivia round.
Between trivia rounds, the energy stayed high with minute-to-win-it challenges, where participants raced against the clock for even more chances to win. And with over $700 in prizes on the line, the stakes (and the fun!) were sky-high!
A huge thank you to everyone who participated and supported the hygiene drive—your generosity is making a difference in the community!
