| High School Invitational World Geography Bowl (HSIWGB) |
The first High School Invitational World Geography Bowl was instituted by the Geographers in the Department of Geography and Anthropology at Kennesaw State University in the Spring of 2000. This community outreach initiative coincided with the Year of Collaboration at Kennesaw State. Further, the competition sought to stimulate interest in the study of geography among local high schools because of negative media reports concerning the geographic knowledge of U.S. students when compared with their counterparts in other countries. The KSU World Geography Bowl is patterned after successful college level versions sponsored by the Association of American Geographers and its regional affiliates at annual meetings across the country. The KSU competition is limited to high school students in the ninth grade who are taking World Geography classes. This gives freshmen students a chance to represent their schools in an intellectual competition and possibly bring home a trophy for their efforts.
