South Georgia Technical College hosted a “Virtual Trivia” contest for students enrolled in summer semester classes and six students will be receiving prizes based on their winning answers. All of the answers to the trivia questions could be found on the SGTC website: www.southgatech.edu.
The winners of the SGTC Virtual Trivia Contest were: Heather Hinton, Jessie Louis Melton, Vivian Aguirre-Garcia, Ashlyn Childs, Shenequa Hall, and Alexis Wilson.
“Since most of our students are taking classes on-line this summer, we wanted to find some student activity that would be fun and virtual,” said South Georgia Technical College Assistant Vice President of Student Affairs Vanessa Wall. “We came up with the virtual trivia contest and developed questions that students could find on our website as well as help them if they had questions about the college.”
To win, the students had to provide the correct answers to all 10 questions and email their answers to Vanessa Wall. Each student who came up with all of the correct answers by the contest deadline will receive an SGTC sling backpack with two SGTC facemasks, a cooling towel, water bottle, hand sanitizer, and SGTC lanyard.
