Changes

USD offers a wide range of events and opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds but we can still improve some aspects of our campus. We feel that we can re-imagine parts of the Freshmen Orientation experience so as to accommodate all students better and ensure we are offering the most engaging and innovative opportunities our campus has to offer.

=== Events on Campus ===-My Story  -What I Be Project

When we interviewed some students on campus we found that there were a few common concerns among the students. Many voiced concerns about the lack of transportation from and around campus. When interviewing students it was also made apparent that we can do a better job publicizing some opportunities better to students such as grants offered and opportunities for students to use what they learned in the classroom in real life.Students also shared that they enjoyed our events that were linked with to the community such as My Story and Dinner with Strangers and they would appreciate working more with the local USD community.

 Active students who hold leadership positions and who take initiative are more aware of various opportunities for innovation, but the general student body and alumni often lack a way of connecting to our Changemaker identity. We consider this a big problem that we want to explore and further research. In addition, in the "spin out" section USD lacked a long -term support system of students interested in innovation and entrepreneurship after graduation. While USD offers a variety of ways to get involved while attending the college, it lacks a connect to alumni and supporting students after they graduate.
