As you know, the ONE Campus Challenge (OCC) has been underway for months now, with colleges and universities all across the country competing to fight global poverty. Today, we finally have our top 10.

These campuses will be receiving a grant from ONE to fund a project on their campus surrounding the issues of extreme poverty and global disease. The projects will be judged by a panel of ONE staff before being opened up to voting by all ONE members.

The winning school, determined by a combination of the panel of judges and the member voting, will receive a concert by VAMPIRE WEEKEND.

So, without further ado, our amazing Top 10:

  1. Wright State University, Dayton, OH
  2. Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, CT
  3. Baylor University, Waco, TX
  4. University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA
  5. University of California – Davis, Davis, CA
  6. Webster University, St. Louis, MO
  7. Curry College, Milton, MA
  8. University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor, MI
  9. Wofford College, Spartanburg, SC
  10. University of Florida, Gainesville, FL

Congratulations for making it this far and good luck on your projects!
