Major: audiology
Year: third-year doctoral student
Hometown: Holyoke, Mass.
Q: What is your commitment and CGI U focus area?
A: SHOW (Student Health Outreach for Wellness) Audiology Clinic; Health. The SHOW clinic is a student-created and operated clinic for the homeless and underprivileged.

Name: Bryan Duarte
Major: software engineering
Year: junior
Hometown: Queen Creek, Ariz.
Q: What is your commitment and CGI U focus area?
A: Qwik Eyes; Human Rights. Qwik Eyes is a live video-calling service that uses mobile technology to provide sighted assistance to the blind. It aims to increase the quality of interactions for the blind.
Q: What inspired you to launch your commitment?
A: I am a husband, a father of four, a college student and an employee, who is also blind. I developed the idea for Qwik Eyes in 2009 when I became a father and realized there was no substitution for human eyes when you are in need of visual information. When organization methods fail and another person is not available to assist, a blind person is left with no other option for receiving visual information.
Q: How has ASU supported your work?
A: Qwik Eyes is supported by Arizona State University through the Great Little Company program (GLC), which provided seed funding and mentorship. Qwik Eyes was also recommended to the City of Mesa as a startup company. As a result of the recommendation, Qwik Eyes has received 50 hours of professional consultation, office space, professional business phone service and a phone number, the use of a company conference room for meetings and other business resources.

Major: computer science
Year: sophomore
Hometown: Chandler, Ariz.
Q: What is your commitment and CGI U focus area?
A: Serious Gaming for Stroke Rehabilitation; Human Rights. I am using unique commercial smart devices called Sifteo cubes to develop serious games for stroke rehabilitation. Stroke rehab exercises are notoriously boring, repetitive tasks implemented on analog devices that do not aid dynamic data collection or interactivity. I aim to use the Sifteo cubes for their unique audio-visual feedback as a more engaging supplement to patient-therapist interaction that encourages stroke survivors to want to heal and regain movement.
Q: What inspired you to launch your commitment?
A: Eric Luster, a CGI U alumni, who is a doctoral student in my lab, communicated how inspiring and diverse the CGI U community and experience was for him, and the fact that it was happening at ASU made it far too exciting to pass up.
Q: What is your goal for CGI U?
A: To connect. Ultimately, I want to take advantage of every networking opportunity I am presented with at CGI U, with the speakers and absolutely the other attendees. I am so grateful that I will be in the same space as so many other innovating and passionate students, and connecting to them and their causes is my primary goal for CGI U. I know the key for connection is complete involvement, so I am doing my best to take full advantage of all the opportunities present.

Name: Jesus Garcia-Gonzalez
Major: applied biological sciences
Year: graduate student
Hometown: San Antonio, Texas
Q: What is your commitment and CGI U focus area?
A: Revitalizing communities and enabling access to local markets; Poverty Alleviation. Many agricultural programs seem to focus on increasing yields, but what happens after yields have been increased and people are not able to sell their crops at fair prices? I intend to connect smallholder farmers to local businesses, creating a stable and stronger local economy.
Q: What inspired you to launch your commitment?
A: Growing up in a small town in Mexico allowed me to experience the struggle that families in rural communities go through in order to provide for their families. My parents were once farmers, and my dad immigrated to the U.S. in order to provide my siblings and me a better life. Now I am the first of my family to not only graduate from high school, but soon to obtain a master's degree.
Q: How has ASU supported your work?
A: Aside from having the opportunity to conduct research at the Laboratory for Algae Research and Biotechnology, one of the leading algae labs in the nation, ASU has enabled me to expand my horizons and challenged me to push myself to achieve the unthinkable. It has allowed me to believe that I can in fact make a difference in the world.

Name: Eric B. Kennedy
Major: human and social dimensions of science and technology
Year: second-year doctoral student
Hometown: Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
Q: What is your commitment and CGI U focus area?
A: Building the International Interdisciplinary Network; Education. Although universities and employers alike eagerly promote the importance of well-rounded, interdisciplinary students, those pursuing discipline-busting paths often have to develop their own student associations and support structures to thrive. The International Interdisciplinary Network is an effort to link these groups, allow for brainstorming and sharing of promising practices, and build a network of like-minded, real-world problem-solvers.
Q: How has ASU supported your work?
A: ASU is the ideal home for such an initiative, having worked hard over the past decade to reinvent the university and move beyond specialist silos.
Q: What is your dream?
A: To keep tackling complex, real-world and large-scale sociotechnical problems. Interesting things happen at the intersections of disciplines, communities and world views, and I love to keep engaging with this space.

Q: What is your commitment and CGI U focus area?
A: Phoenix Foster Friends; Education. According to an article in the New York Times, two-thirds of foster children don't attend college, and "only 6 percent of former foster youths had earned a two- or four-year degree by age 24."

A: I hope to gain the resources and inspiration to help make my idea a reality.
Q: What is your dream?

A: Local Exchange, Global Change; Education and Peace/Human Rights. LEGC prepares college students for global change by training them to recognize and combat systematic inequality on a local scale in metro Phoenix. LEGC provides a local exchange immersion program with immigrant and refugee families.
Q: What inspired you to launch your commitment?
A: Both of my parents and most of my extended family are immigrants that have in more than one way seen the harsh reality of what it means to be an outsider in the land of opportunity. From legalization to social services and education opportunities, immigrants, refugees and their children are the most vulnerable population in the U.S., and also make up the least-represented population, whose rights are most easily overstepped.
Q: What is your dream?
A: My dream is to work with the U.S. Department of State, the United Nations or an NGO in multiple capacities to promote and advance human rights, diplomacy, health and sustainability, both foreign and domestic. I'd like to have said I lived every day with purpose, and that I chose for my talents to be used to serve the common good.

Q: What is your dream?
A: My dream is for the generation now, and future generations of Navajo children, to be proficient in the Navajo language – including me.

Q: What inspired you to launch your commitment?
A: I stumbled into the world of social entrepreneurship through a successive series of chance happenings and mentors who have challenged me to think of my academic studies as a tool to create social impact, but many students are never exposed to this.

A: I feel lucky to attend a school that supports its students in finding innovative solutions to tackle social problems. ASU has tons of resources, from the Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative to its new degree program focused on entrepreneurship, but I've particularly felt huge support from my professors and advisers in the W.

Q: What is your dream?
A: My dream is to use business as a tool to empower women around the world through economic and educational opportunity, and to make people around the world more united global citizens through the products they purchase.

Q: What is your commitment and CGI U focus area?
A: From Subsistence to Surplus - increasing value for smallholder farmers in Peru; Poverty Alleviation. GAIA International commits to teach farmers in rural Peru, and eventually in other parts of the world, to cost-effectively increase crop production and alleviate the effects of poverty by introducing them to an ancient method of soil improvement called Terra Preta. We commit to educate farmers in these methods of replenishing soil fertility by teaching them how to make biochar, which, when combined with natural fertilizers, helps soils retain nutrients and moisture, resulting in increased crop yields of up to 880 percent.
Q: What inspired you to launch your commitment?
A: What started as an academic exercise in ASU's "Make Your Ideas Happen" class last spring has turned into a nonprofit organization called GAIA International. Individuals were initially selected within a program that trains students with a passion for developing bold ideas into men and women with the capacity to follow through. Management was formed by selecting a group of energetic people with unique backgrounds, who also possess a “can do” attitude, no matter what the challenges faced, and have an amazing passion for making a difference in the lives of people at the bottom of the pyramid.
Q: What is your goal for CGI U?
A: We hope to draw attention to the initiatives our organization is working on that seek to improve the lives of people living on less than $1.25 per day. We have already transformed lives, but there is so much more to do, and so we hope to get support for continuing our efforts through our non-profit organization, GAIA International. We also hope to learn many things at the conference, including how to build our organization, and how to measure and monitor our results.
