Changes

<span style="font-size:smallmedium;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-ee98353a-7fff-ec79-2554-f64e7a161676"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">University of San Diego participates in a lot of social justice projects outside of San Diego through University Minister, Changemaking, and senior design projects. However, there is a lot of work that can be done by USD students for USD. There are some social justice programs on campus such as the food pantry and community garden to help those on campus with food insecurities to be secure.&nbsp;</span></span></span>

<span style="font-size:smallmedium;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-ee98353a-7fff-ec79-2554-f64e7a161676"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The initiative proposed would be an app open to everyone at USD where people can put problems they would like to be solved at USD. On the app, interested people and groups can come together to take on a problem, come up with a solution, and put that on the app. The solutions for each issue would then be put into effect and slowly modified or changed entirely to ensure the problem is solved at the root.&nbsp;</span></span></span>

  <span style="font-size:smallmedium;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-ee98353a-7fff-ec79-2554-f64e7a161676"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">To make sure there are resources for people to be able to take on these projects, we would partner with the Engineering Exchange for Social Justice. This program gives participants a stipend for being apart of a social justice project and offers professional development courses to learn how to think about issues and come up with user centered solutions. Engineering Exchange for Social Justice is not only for engineering students, however, it does link students from all backgrounds with students and faculty from the Shiley Marcos School of Engineering as resources and to help create the solutions. We would also partner with on campus clubs that have an emphasis on issues brought up on the app such as sustainability, food insecurities, (dis)ability, etc. This allows students and faculty who cannot afford or do not have time to participate in social justice projects outside of the community to be able to make a positive change for the community they are apart of.</span></span></span>
