Chapter members, inductees and guests at the
Spring 2007 Induction Ceremony for Phi Alpha Theta enjoyed a challenging
bout of "Jeopardy"-style trivia featuring, as contestants,
professors John Henderson, Christine Kooi, and Mark Thompson.
Questions ranged from American political history to sports to
"potent potables," with Prof. Henderson walking away with the
victory laurels. Congratulations!
