Black Student Union holds contest for Black History Mon
Jadon Triplett
The Clackamas Print
The Black Student Union recent
ly got creative in campus awareness
efforts for Black History Month by
putting on a black history trivia con
test for staff and students.
‘Academically, [it was] an inter
disciplinary approach that we used
to come up with the questions,” said
Counselor Guadalupe Martinez, the
BSU faculty advisor. '
The questions were put up all
around campus. After answering the
questions, participants submitted
their answers to ASG. To help moti
vate students to enter the contest,
BSU convinced two businesses to
donate gift certificates as prizes.
“There was a $50 gift certificate
to Outback, and a $25 gift certificate
to Starbucks,” Sociology Instructor
Kristin Christopherson, who has
worked with the BSU on this and
other projects^ said. “We thought
[if students] were only participat
ing in the [contest] for the payoff
[they were] stilTgoing.to learn some
thing.”
The group of students who start
ed out in the fall as being a part of
the BSU were talking about a lot
of ways to both increase the visibil
ity of black students on campus as
well as ... contribute to the campus
community,” Christopherson said in
reference to the motive behind the
contest.
There was another important rea
son for the contest as well.
“the objective of having the [con
test] was also to provoke thought,”
according to Martinez
“The importance ... of the black
history [contest] was to show the
diversity of black culture ... our
black students here on campus come
from a wide [range] of cultures
and experiences that don’t repre
sent just one homogenous group,”
Christopherson stressed.
“The [contest] wasn’t simply
out there to celebrate Black History
Month for black Americans on cam
pus, but for the entire campus com
munity ... it enriches us to know
who and what we are a part of in this
country,” Martinez said.
