The Fast Forward competition will fund student projects that demonstrate how Syracuse University and its students can have a positive impact on the world. Thirteen entrants were recently selected as winners and we are proud to announce that four of these winners are Honors students! For the full story by SUNew’s Kathleen Haley, click HERE.
Our students, along with their fellow WINNERS, will pitch their projects to students, Trustees, and the Chancellor this Friday, April 11, at 2 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium, Newhouse 3. We encourage you to come out and cheer on your fellow students for their fantastic work and achievement!
The Honors students are:
- Ruo Piao Chen ’17—Westminster Church Ramp: Architecture students involved in Freedom by Design, which designs construction solutions to people with disabilities, propose building a ramp to help the historic Westminster Church. The design would provide shelter from ice and community seating.
- Brian Cheung ’15—Meal Swipe Program: Cheung proposes that students who have a meal plan have the option of donating one meal on their dining plan to the local community in some form, which would provide food pantries with supplies.
- Alexandra Curtis ’14 and Adrianna Kam ’15—Elect Her: Curtis and Kam want to empower young women on campus and in the community to run for elected offices on campus and off after graduation. The funding will help with creating opportunities, such as workshops and speakers, to educate and train women in preparation for political office.
- Nicholas Ferreiro ’15—Cuse Comedy Collective: Ferreiro proposes the Cuse Comedy Collective, a website that would channel all the content from the various comedy groups on campus. The website would help build a stronger sense of community among groups, increase viewership and allow for scheduled programming.
