DJIMO ‘World Quest’ team takes second in annual competition

Eight faculty members from CGSC’s Department of Joint, Interagency and Multinational Operations (DJIMO) took second place in “World Quest 2016,” an annual competition conducted by the International Relations Council – Kansas City. This year’s competition was April 14 at the University of Kansas Edwards Campus in Overland Park, Kan.

The CGSC Foundation is a member of the IRC in Kansas City in order to provide opportunities for the DJIMO faculty and students to experience the international flavor of the greater KC area.

Each year, more than 200 business professionals, academic faculty, community members, and students participate in “World Quest,” a fun and interactive global trivia competition. Teams of eight compete to show their knowledge of global affairs, geography, world languages, and more. The winning team takes home the traveling trophy, while second and third place teams win valuable prizes. The DJIMO team took third place in 2015.

Congrats from the Foundation to our DJIMO World Quest 2016 heroes!
