10 Years of Change-making and More to Come

Changemaking – a loaded word. Something that you can’t just say, but need to do; to be. A word that USD was officially awarded for upholding 10 years ago.

A decade ago, the university was first recognized for its efforts in honoring the changemaking mission by Ashoka U; the institution that deems higher education campuses worthy of accepting the title of having a changemaker designation. Although the phrase “changemaking” can capture a wide range of actions, USD is part of a select group of only 45 other universities globally that have also received this identification from Ashoka U.
