Description

This challenge provides an opportunity for students to develop projects, ventures and more that will foster community wellbeing. Wellbeing: Reimagined, Renewed and Revitalized is the theme of Innovate@BU’s second annual Community Impact Challenge. This year, we will focus on three of the seven dimensions of wellbeing that have been deeply disrupted through the Covid-19 pandemic: our emotional, social and physical wellbeing. This Challenge provides an opportunity for students across BU who are inspired by any of these three elements to embrace the entrepreneurial mindset and develop recommendations, interventions, events, traditions, ventures and more that will foster community wellbeing. Learn more about the Challenge on our website. Please note: By registering for this event, you agree to receive emails from Innovate@BU. You can unsubscribe from our emails any time.
