Members of Rho Kappa are preparing the callout meeting for Academic WorldQuest (AWQ). This annual competition, which focuses on international relations, is said to be a central part of participating in the club. Will Ronco, AWQ officer and junior, said he is looking forward to competing this year.
“AWQ is an international relations competition where students will compete and answer questions about current events and geopolitics,” he said. “Students will compete in teams of four and they will be added to a Canvas course with the required reading. More information and sign ups will come out soon and is open to all grade levels.”
In addition to preparing for AWQ, Rho Kappa members plan for their membership drive.
“In the next few weeks, Rho Kappa will be doing a recruitment drive and one of the requirements is that you have to be a junior or senior to be accepted into the club,” Ronco said. “More information will be posted around the school soon and if people have further questions, they can always ask (John) Carter in room E225.”
John Carter, organizer and sponsor of Rho Kappa, said one of the goals for this year is to create a sense of community within the club.
“We will start what we call ‘community nights’ where Rho Kappa members get together and go bowling or skating or some other thing that is fun,” he said. “This is to build some community among the club itself.”
