Sacred Heart University is currently ranked first in the nation in the ONE Campus Challenge.
ONE is a campaign that seeks to raise public awareness about the issues of global poverty, hunger, disease and efforts to fight such problems in developing countries. During the ONE Campus Challenge, chapters receive points for activism. Writing letters to politicians, recruiting new members or photographing a school mascot in a ONE t-shirt are just a few of the activities that garner points.
As of March 10, Sacred Heart University and University of Nevada, Las Vegas, had distanced themselves from over 1,400 campuses by scoring 1,086,435 and 956,785 points respectively. Other schools competing for the top spot are: Brandeis University; Campbellsville University; George Washington University; Hofstra University; Kansas State University; Princeton University; Western Kentucky University; and Wilmington College.
Much of SHU’s success can be attributed to sophomore Mike Fazzino, the president and founder of SHU’s ONE chapter. |
