Royal Roads University was in the prime-time TV spotlight Tuesday night, featuring in a clue in Jeopardy!

In a category called World Colleges and Universities, the university was highlighted for its B次元官网网址渁mazing views of the Strait of Juan de FucaB次元官网网址 in the clue, with contestants asked to name the Canadian province the university calls home.

It was a brief moment of international fame, with a contestant quickly buzzing in with the correct answer of B次元官网网址渨hat is British Columbia,B次元官网网址 but that makes it no less impactful, according to acting vice-president of communications and advancement, Susan Gee.

B次元官网网址淲e think it is really great, really positive,B次元官网网址 she said. B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 a great way for the world to become more aware of what a beautiful campus we have.B次元官网网址

Gee said the brief appearance came as no surprise to the university, as JeopardyB次元官网网址檚 producers contacted them back in August about using drone footage of the famous Hatley Castle in a clue.

The TV spot is only the latest for the iconic building, which is a popular set piece in Hollywood productions, including MacGyver, Deadpool and the X-Men film series.

B次元官网网址淲e know that when people start looking through our programs, our history, they will want to come learn or work with us,B次元官网网址 Gee said. B次元官网网址淲e are very excited for students to come from around the world.B次元官网网址
