糖心Vlog传媒LR is the only Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl team in Arkansas and has qualified for the National Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl three times in the last four years. All teams complete three rounds before there are any eliminations. At this year鈥檚 competition, held Feb. 22, the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Ethics Bowl Team experienced a loss to University of Richmond, a win over Oklahoma Christian University, and then a loss to Gonzaga University. Angela Johnson, a senior and double major in philosophy and psychology, has been with the team since its inception four years ago. 鈥淪ince I have been here, I have watched the team grow from no placements within the competition to qualifiers in the national competition for three years in a row,鈥 she said. 鈥淚t has allowed me to grow as person in terms of being an effective communicator, thinking critically about complex ethical issues, and maintaining a level of professionalism.鈥 In 2013, the last time the team competed in national competition, the team placed 16th overall. The team was unable to compete in the 2014 National Bowl due to a technicality about the number of teams competing in the Regional Bowl. 鈥淚t feels really exciting to know, even if we’re from a relatively small school in a small state, we can compete with the elites,鈥 said Michael Wyatt, a senior majoring in political science with a minor in philosophy. 鈥淓thics Bowl is what made me able to strongly frame my own ideas to be compelling and intriguing in any context,鈥 said Wyatt. 鈥淭he people involved at the program at 糖心Vlog传媒LR are so phenomenal and absolutely indispensable.鈥 The 糖心Vlog传媒LR Ethics Bowl Team members spanned freshmen to seniors, and a number of different majors were represented. Nine members attended this year鈥檚 national championship:
  • Senior George Andrews of Sherwood
  • Senior Kate Blackwell of Little Rock
  • Senior Angela Johnson of Pine Bluff
  • Senior Bianca Mayo of Pine Bluff
  • Senior Michael Wyatt of Eagle River, Alaska
  • Senior Spencer Briggs of Gillett
  • Junior Justin Bray of White Hall
  • Junior Marla Cole of Little Rock
  • Freshman Ericha Clark of Marked Tree
