Global Quiz Night is a campus-wide event in which teams of students compete against one another in a trivia bowl. Teams compete for prizes and the glory of being crowned Global Quiz Night Grand Champion.

The 12th annual Global Quiz Night will occur on October 26, 2023.

This year's Global Quiz Night will be held in the Ornelas Activity Center starting at 6pm. The theme is Disco!

The event consists of two halves, with a 15 minute intermission between. Each half has three rounds.

Round 2: Popular Culture	Round 5: Sports
Round 3: Math & Science	Round 6: Art & Literature

               

Teams are comprised of 5-8 currently enrolled UT Tyler undergraduate and/or students. Students can register as a team or as an individual (the Honors staff will assign individuals to teams).

Teams and individuals must register here by October 22, 2023

 ****There will be a mandatory team captain's meeting over zoom on Monday, October 23rd at 2pm. One member of every team must attend this meeting in order for the team to participate in GQN.****

Costume Contest

The costume contest at Global Quiz Night ranks as one of the great traditions in the Honors College! Students participating in Global Quiz Night can enter the costume contest as an individual or with a group. Costumes can be funny, scary, elaborate, ironic, or anything else you can think of and will be judged on their originality, cohesiveness, and time/thought/energy. Please avoid insensitive or offensive images.

Winners are determined by popular vote, and will be announced at the end of the evening. 

Good luck and see you at Global Quiz Night!
