Join us for presentations by the finalists in the competition for the first annual IMPACT Awards, the announcement of the winners, and a keynote talk by guest juror Mimi Robinson.
After the keynote talk, the finalist student teams under consideration for an IMPACT Award will give presentations to the audience and a panel of judges. The judges will quickly retire to deliberate, and at the end of the evening they will announce the winning teams and their award amounts. The awarded projects will each receive up to $10,000. All of them must emphasize interdisciplinary engagement, social entrepreneurship, and collaborative relationships with community partners, and they must have a detailed action plan that supports social and humanitarian goals.
The guest jurors are Binta Ayofemi, Liz Ogbu, Mimi Robinson, Allison Smith, and Susan Worthman.
