Ethics Bowl National Results

Congratulations to the Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl team for competing in the 2022 National Competition. Overall, the UCSB team performed well, securing two victories (against Occidental College and Indiana University, Bloomington) and two ties (against Clemson University and Santa Fe College). The field was very competitive this year and unfortunately this stellar performance was not enough to guarantee them a spot in the quarter finals. However, we are supremely pleased with their competitive spirit.
