Reflecting With Gratitude
Before we launch into a new year of innovations, we want to honor our 2020 cohort of changemakers. Our Impact Report highlights impressive statistics from our 2020 Global Finalists including 65% female founders behind 43 ventures with over 600 judging hours plus 100 mentoring hours devoted to students in the 2020 Fowler Global Social Innovation Challenge.
In 2020 both teams from USD made it to the top 16 Global Finalists teams and received seed funding. Masters of Social Innovation candidate, Brittany Kirk, and her venture Sunlight U, check out her feature in SD Voyager!

About the Author
The Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice (Kroc IPJ) launched in 2001 with a vision of active peacebuilding. In 2007, the Kroc IPJ became part of the newly established Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies, a global hub for peacebuilding and social innovation. The core of the Kroc IPJ mission is to co-create learning with peacemakers — learning that is deeply grounded in the lived experience of peacemakers around the world, that is made rigorous by our place within a university ecosystem and that is immediately and practically applied by peacemakers to end cycles of violence.
