SciencesPo Wikipedia

As I was doing some research about SciencesPo, my French university, I noticed that its Wikipedia page lacked some important information. Mainly, it gives a description of all seven campuses, but it does not include how these campuses are connected. The original post simply had a headline that said "Campuses" followed by a sentence that read: 

Campuses

Sciences Po has seven campuses in France. [30]

Every year, all seven campuses come together to compete in athletic and artistic competitions. I added this fact to the post. It now reads: 

Campuses

Sciences Po has seven campuses in France. Every May, at the end of the academic year, all seven campuses come together for the inter-campus Collegiades de SciencesPo tournament, also known as the MiniCrit. At the tournament, students represent each campus and compete against one another in arts and athletic competitions. Different events include athletic games such as volleyball and football, as well as artistic competitions such as dance and singing.[30][31]

I thought that it was important to include this additional information because the students at SciencesPo are very invested in this tournament and emphasize the importance of representing one's campus in the competition. In addition, many of the arts and athletic associations prepare all year for the Minicrit and it is one of the biggest events of the year at SciencesPo. I also thought it was interesting to see that even though all seven campuses are separate and spread throughout France, they all still come together every year for a celebration and friendly competition.
