NSU Scholars go to Honda’s Academic National
Championship Tournament

Norfolk, Va.—Norfolk State University has won a berth to the Honda Campus All-Star Challenge National Championship Tournament. The event, scheduled for April 12-16 in Orlando, is in its 18th year. The championship tournament is open to all of the nation’s four-year, degree-granting Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Each year, 64 schools qualify to attend the national championship tournament. Participating HBCUs receive grants which enhance student programs.

The Honda Campus All-Star Challenge National Championship Tournament is similar to college basketball’s national tournament, which leads to the Final Four and the national championship. This academic tournament requires participants to have broad-based knowledge in many areas including history, geography, religious studies, literature, fine art, performing arts, current events, science, and sports.

Norfolk State was the national champion in 1992 and a semi-finalist in 1995, 1999 and 2000. Norfolk State has participated since 1989 and has earned $155,500 in grants. This year’s team members are Clifford Denizé, Sarah Donofry, Katrina Field, Breanna Henderson and Jonny Rice.
