2/3/2017, 6:38 p.m.
Ten historically black colleges and universities will compete next month at Virginia Union University for a spot in the Honda Campus All-Star Challenge.
VUU has competed in the annual academic challenge since 1990, but this is the first year the private Richmond university will host one of the qualifying tournaments to select 48 teams for the finals to be held in California in April.
The qualifying competition, which will be open to the public, will take place from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4, in VUU’s L. Douglas Wilder Library and Learning Resource Center.
VUU’s team will test its knowledge of various subjects against teams from three other Virginia schools, Hampton, Norfolk State and Virginia State universities, and teams from Savannah State University of Georgia, Morgan State University of Maryland, Elizabeth City State University of North Carolina, Central State University of Ohio, Fisk University of Tennessee and West Virginia State University.
