USD One Challenge

The 2013 USD ONE Challenge chosen by our USD community is: The Environment, Wasteful Production and Consumption! It is now time to learn more about this issue and create ideas to solve it. The USD ONE Challenge is an initiative for uniting students, faculty and staff in employing their imagination, hard work and passion to generate ideas for better addressing a current social challenge. All ideas for the USD ONE Challenge are welcome. They can be as diverse as developing a campaign, a product, an enterprise, writing a song, producing a film and the list goes on. The spirit is to have a community that is driven to innovate, collaborate and create solutions. The best ideas will receive awards and will be publicly highlighted.
