MEA Clubs
Amazing opportunities to get involved on campus
Academic League is a buzzer competition where teams compete to answer "toss-up" questions and then collaborate on "bonus" questions. With questions from literature, science, history, art, music, sports, pop culture and more, there is something for everyone!
We hold practice matches during club time and many choose to participate in the official season of matches against other schools during the Spring. Stop by, listen to some questions, and see what you think! It's a lot less pressure than it sounds and (in our opinion) quite a bit of fun.
Academic League meets Wednesdays 11:30-12:30 in Rm 9
