Brain Bowl Team (aka Quiz Bowl)

A competitive team competes against other colleges from Florida and (sometimes) other states in tournaments covering academic knowledge. Questions are longer than Jeopardy; they are typically 3-5 sentences long and scoped so that knowing more information about topics can allow you to buzz in early to beat out the other team. Topics range from Science, History and other Social Sciences, Humanities like Literature, Mythology, Art and Music, plus current events. A team consists of up to 4 players, and we occasionally have enough players for two teams. We often travel for competitions around Florida and have even competed nationally with travel to Atlanta, St. Louis, and Chicago in past years. The college pays for the travel (hotel, food, registration, and van/airplane), plus scholarships are available.

Cosmetology Club

Florida Gateway College Cosmetology Club supports the efforts and endeavors of our Cosmetology students as they move forward in the program. The Cosmetology Club helps to reinforce the technical skills and the knowledge of the students by allowing them to participate in additional job-related activities such as field trips, trade shows, workshops, and seminars to enhance their classroom experience while in the program. The club encourages volunteering in the community to promote positive relationships between cosmetologists and students. The club also allows them to operate in various leadership roles to prepare them for successful careers.
