UC Davis-Financial Times Biz Quiz

The UC Davis Graduate School of Management is excited to partner with the Financial Times (FT) to host student teams from UC business schools for the UC Davis-Financial Times Biz Quiz on November 4-5, 2022.

The Challenge

The Biz Quiz is a buzz-in quiz contest with a host asking questions based on Financial Times business news content from September 15-October 30.

Teams of three from UC business schools will compete in two rounds, with the top three teams advancing to the final rounds, followed by an awards ceremony to recognize the winners.

FT has contributed $7,500 in prize money for the top three teams and the top three individual competitors, based on a written test. One team and one individual will be crowned our 2022 UC Davis-Financial Times Biz Quiz champions.

Welcome and Featured Executive Speaker

The evening before the competition starts will feature Peter Spiegel, the U.S. managing editor of the Financial Times, interviewing UC Davis alumna Jennifer Johnson, president and CEO of Franklin Templeton.
