RIT professor to compete on "Jeopardy" | News

A professor from RIT will be appearing on a popular game show.

Sean Hansen will be competing on "Jeopardy". Hansen is from Cleveland, but moved to Rochester two years ago and is an assistant professor in management information systems at the E. Philip Sauders College of Business at RIT. 

Hansen always wanted to be on "Jeopardy". He even tried out when he was 16-years-old but he didn't make the cut. Last year, he took an online entrance exam and received a call back and had an audition in New York City. He went to Los Angeles to tape the show in December. Unlike other contestants, Hansen did not study ahead of time for the show.

You can watch Hansen on "Jeopardy" on Wednesday April 11.
