Join us for an evening with nationally renowned cruciverbalist and UH alumnus, Erik Agard. A former Jeopardy! champion and ESPN intern, Erik regularly contributes crosswords for The New York Times and The New Yorker. Currently, he is the Crossword Editor for USA Today.

Erik will be sharing a bit about his journey, answering questions, and leading participants in a live-construction of a crossword puzzle. Along the way, we hope he’ll explain why Alex Trebek once threatened to pie him in the face!
