What was our challenge? Let’s summarize in two simple questions.
Can you name more than a couple of organizations at ODU that students can join?
Have you ever been on campus searching for a particular resource but do not know where to start looking for answers?
Our challenge was to make access to all the 300+ organizations and resources that ODU offers easier for all students, and especially African American and Latinx students.
"RESOURCES AT ODU ARE ENDLESS, BUT ACCESS TO THESE RESOURCES IS ANOTHER THING"
What problem are you solving?
Students are struggling finding the many resources that we offer on campus
What does the pain result in?
Often, resources go uncapitalized on campus because students do not know about them or where to find the information about them
A PAIN FOR ALL, NOT A FEW
Can you make the pain a human problem that everyone can relate to?
Yes, we know that this problem is not only in the African American and Latinx students from the information that we gathered from our diversity survey which was answered by students from many different ethnicities.
How many people need this problem solved?
All our students and faculty need this problem resolved which we found from having meetings with faculty members and through the engagement of reviewing student responses from our survey
THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM ON CAMPUS, STUDENTS & FACULTY WANT TO SEE IT RESOLVED
