We are looking for a project that supports the local SU community. Projects should be designed with a seamless user experience and provide some benefit to connect individuals around your campus or local community.

Some questions to consider:
• What does your project do for the community?

• Does it bring people together, promote giving back, or provide some other benefit?

• How easy would it be to implement into the SU lifestyle?
