The leaves are changing. Football rankings are being watched closely. Classes are in session. And you know what that means – the ONE Campus Challenge is back!
The ONE Campus Challenge is a friendly competition between colleges and universities to determine which student body has the most effective poverty fighting campaign in the country. Students can earn points for their campus by taking different actions that contribute to the fight against global poverty.
It’s been a long summer – one that included a trip to Kenya with five of OCC’s most dedicated students, a training session with the regional Campus Outreach Ambassadors, and a whole lot of planning for the 09/10 season. We’ve combined equal parts old and new for this year – we’ll see returning powerhouse campuses, like last year’s winner, Wofford College. And the 3rd annual Power 100 Summit will occur in winter 2010. But new this year, OCC will launch month-long challenges that focus on particular ONE issues, new prizes, and a brand new freshmen class ready to make a difference in the fight against global poverty.
Class of 2013, welcome to the Challenge.
