WKU TRIO students competed in academic competitions at the University of Louisville as a part of the state’s celebration of national TRIO Day on Feb. 27.

Students were also able to attend various workshops and hear from motivational speakers during the event. Educational Talent Search 2 (ETS 2) took five students to compete in High-Q, a competition of four rounds of quick-recall questions asked to opposing teams of four students. Upward Bound took six students to compete in Scholar’s Bowl, a quick-recall competition of nine rounds for individuals and teams.   

Philip Parsons, from WKU Student Support Services, finished second in the inaugural poster competition and won $50. Parsons conducted original research about student perceptions of campus services for veterans for his entry.

WKU’s ETS 2 team is composed of Warren Central High School seniors Lizzey Cain and Thomas Porter; Warren Central junior Kenly Chau and freshman Aleka Chau; and Bowling Green High School sophomore Raven Robinson. Representing WKU’s second Talent Search Grant, these students won all three matches and took first place in the High-Q competition for the second year in a row. The team has qualified for the regional competition representing Kentucky ETS teams in Atlanta, where they will compete against teams from North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Florida.
