ASU students: Got an idea to change the world?

Apply to be part of the 2014 Clinton Global Initiative University and the ASU Innovation Challenge

ASU will host the Clinton Global Initiative University March 21-23, 2014, on its Tempe campus. The university was selected to host this meeting because of its commitment to student-driven social change and entrepreneurship.

Each year, CGI U brings together 1,200 undergraduate and graduate students from around the world to address challenges with practical, innovative solutions.

As a participant, you will do more than simply discuss problems – you’ll take concrete steps to solve them by creating action plans, building relationships, participating in hands-on workshops and following up with CGI U as you complete your projects.

The three-day event will include inspiring speeches from President Bill Clinton and Chelsea Clinton and workshops delivered by leading social change experts. To learn more about CGI U check out this video.
