School of Public Affairs master's student Amanda Wallwin will be a contestant on the March 31 showing of the popular trivia show Jeopardy. Wallwin says she's been a fan of the show since she was a child and after successfully completing its online testing, was invited for an in-person audition last year. She got the call saying she made the show while in class at Baruch. Wallwin expects to complete her master's in policy analysis next December and hopes to move into the education policy sector.
