USU Ethics Bowl Teams Triumph in Wasatch Regionals!
We’re very proud of our two USU Ethics Bowl teams, who placed first and fourth in this year’s Wasatch Regional Ethics Bowl, which was held at Westminster University in SLC, on Nov. 16th. The field was so competitive this year that our fourth-place finish came down to a small point differential between two teams with undefeated records after 5 rounds of competition!
With this impressive record, USU is off to the 2025 Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl National Competition in Norfolk, Virginia in the Spring. Stay tuned!
