Undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in programs at institutions in the SEDAAG region and registered for the 2025 SEDAAG meeting are eligible to participate in the World Geography Bowl competition during the meeting. The Round Robin portion of the competition begins on Sunday with an exciting Finals Round on Monday evening. Different states have different procedures for fielding teams. Students who are uncertain how to join their state team should contact Dr. Dawn Drake, SEDAAG World Geography Bowl Director, at dmdrake@ou.edu or watch the SEDAAG Facebook page for calls for participation.
Participants in the competition at SEDAAG will be ranked by their individual average points scored per round. The highest scoring students will be invited to be a part of SEDAAG’s team at AAG in San Francisco in 2026. Those students who represent SEDAAG on the team at AAG will receive travel funding from both SEDAAG and the AAG. More details on the AAG team can be obtained from Dr. Dawn Drake.
In case you haven’t heard of it, the World Geography Bowl is a ‘quiz bowl’ stye team competition where all the questions are geographically oriented. Think Jeopardy! but with teams of six players instead of everyone competing alone, and the category is always “World Geography.” Whether you are a student who wants to play or a student or faculty member who wants to volunteer, reach out to SEDAAG World Geography Bowl Director, Dr. Dawn Drake at dmdrake@ou.edu.
