Dear COEHD,
The 2015 UTSA Black Faculty and Staff Association Knowledge Bowl is fast approaching. The
UTSA Black Faculty and Staff Association will host the 2015 Black History Knowledge Bowl

Please encourage your students to form a team and register to compete in the event. This
event is open only to currently enrolled UTSA students.
The objective of the Knowledge Bowl is to foster an environment of interactive learning
and expansion of historical knowledge of American history through the efforts of African
American contributors. The Black History Knowledge Bowl is an official program during
UTSA's Black History Month festivities.
Students of all backgrounds are encouraged to learn about innovative, musical, political,
social, linguistic, and other contributions of African Americans that shape and support
society as a whole today and affect the UTSA community culture. Students are empowered by
identifying with historical figures from ethnic backgrounds of underrepresented
populations.
Sponsored by:
Dr. Sonja Lanehart, Professor and Brackenridge Endowed Chair of Literature and the
Humanities , African American Studies, Office of Information Technology, and Student
Center for Community Engagement and Inclusion.
