10 Years of CGI U Commitments to Action

Building upon the successful CGI “Commitments to Action” model that focuses on cross-sector partnerships, students take real, concrete steps toward solving global challenges. To attend, each student must make a Commitment to Action, a new, specific, and measurable plan to address a challenge they’ve identified on their campus, in their local communities, or around the world.

This year, CGI U will celebrate ten years of student commitment-making and the extraordinary alumni who over the past decade have made a significant impact through their CGI U Commitments to Action or their careers.  Past commitment makers have worked with the Pakistani Government to change the way victims of gender based violence are supported, created a tech platform to deliver 90,000 pounds of leftover food to hungry New Yorkers, improved energy efficiency in at risk communities in order to lower costs and improve the environment, developed and distributed the Polytech Waterbag to provide drinkable water for people living in disaster zones around the world, starting in the United States, and used a basketball board game to improve the math skills of over 41,000 students.

CGI U’s growing community of diverse young leaders is representative of more than 850 schools, all 50 states nationwide, and 145 countries around the world.

This year, students have committed to providing professional-led Naloxone administration training to combat the opioid epidemic in Philadelphia, creating a program with ride-sharing companies which will teach them how to accommodate individuals with disabilities, and establishing academies which will increase access to a STEM education for African Women.

CGI U seeks to provide commitment-makers with various funding opportunities through its University Network and the Commitments Challenge in partnership with CrowdRise. Through the University Network, a consortium of 70 institutions worldwide, more than $800,000 is made available to CGI U students on Network campuses. These funds directly support the development and implementation of CGI U student commitments. Students participating in the Commitments Challenge compete head-to-head to raise the most money for their Commitment to Action through the online donation platform with support from CGI U and CrowdRise. The student project that raises the most money will be announced on-stage at the CGI U meeting.

All media must apply for credentials and must be approved by the Clinton Foundation in order to attend. To apply, please complete the form at https://forms.clintonfoundation.org/view.php?id=125492. A schedule of activities and press logistics is available below.

Support for CGI U 2017 is provided by the Ford Foundation and the Ramsey Social Justice Foundation. Additional support is provided by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, who partners with CGI U on “Up To Us,” a year-round program on college and university campuses.

OPENING PLENARY SESSION — What Unites Us: Building Community In A Divided World
6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ET
PRESS PRE-SET: 5:30 p.m. ET
Matthews Arena

We live in a world more interdependent than ever, where the forces of globalization– technology, trade, and transportation – have brought us closer together, increased economic opportunity, and transformed our ability to share knowledge. Yet the same forces that have connected us have also fueled division and distrust. Widespread internet access has dramatically increased the exchange of information and provided critical services to billions of people, but it has also served as a safe haven for intolerance and misinformation, where fake news and hate speech can proliferate without debate. Increased migration has the possibility of bringing prosperity to both immigrants and host communities, but it has also triggered a backlash of racism, nationalism, protectionism, and violence against refugees and immigrants. Despite a world of increasing diversity, it’s becoming easier for people to surround themselves among people and ideas with which they already agree. It is critical that students embrace their interdependence and connectivity in a way that promotes inclusion, facilitates the exchange of diverse opinions, and builds stronger communities in the face of extremism and terrorism.

 In this session, panelists will explore how CGI U commitment-makers can:

  • Create a culture of dialogue and reconciliation, encouraging effective and even difficult discussions that that are rooted in empathy and honesty,

  • Harness education and entrepreneurship as opportunities to transcend religious, racial, political, or geographic barriers, and

  • Expand offline social networks and build systems for innovative community engagement, inclusivity, and civic participation.

Participants:

  • President Bill Clinton, founder of the Clinton Foundation and 42nd President of the United States

  • Chelsea Clinton, vice chair, Clinton Foundation

  • Joseph E. Aoun, president, Northeastern University

  • Ibitihaj Muhammad, Olympic medalist, activist and entrepreneur, Louella

  • Daryl Davis, race relations expert and musician, Lyrad Production

  • Thomas Edwards, senior high school student at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory, Strake Jesuit College Prep High School Senior Student

  • Sandra Uwiringiyimana, co-founder, Jimbere Fund

SATURDAY, OCTOBER, 14

MORNING PLENARY SESSION — On the Move: Creating Opportunity for Migrants and Refugees
9:00 a.m. – 10:15 a.m. ET
PRESS PRE-SET: 8:00 a.m. ET
Matthews Arena

More then 250 million people live outside their country of birth, often bringing the high-level skills and knowledge that foster innovation and economic growth to their adopted communities. While the majority are migrants in search of new economic opportunities, wars, persecution, and climate change have forced more people than at any other time in recorded history to flee their homes and seek refuge elsewhere. This influx has given rise to xenophobia, calls for tightening borders, and hostility towards those trying to rebuild their lives outside their communities of origin. Students and universities play an integral role in dispelling discrimination and negative perceptions by creating more supportive, socially-inclusive environments for refugees and migrants. In this session, panelists will explore how CGI U commitment-makers can:

  • Improve the quality of immediate humanitarian assistance for refugees, while ensuring a safe and effective long-term refugee resettlement process,

  • Equip refugees and migrants with access to capital and the necessary training to become successful entrepreneurs and innovators themselves, while convincing more people in host communities of the benefits of these measures, and

  • Increase access to quality education worldwide, from Syrians in refugee camps to DREAMers on US campuses.

Participants:

  • Madeleine Albright, former Secretary of State; chair, Albright Stonebridge Group; chair, National Democratic Institute

  • David Miliband, president and CEO, International Rescue Committee

  • Sarahi Espinoza Salamanca, founder and CEO, Dreamers Roadmap

  • Rachel E. Rosenbloom, professor of law, Northeastern University School of Law

AFTERNOON PLENARY SESSION
2:00 p.m. – 3:15 p.m. ET
PRESS PRE-SET: 1:00 p.m. ET
Matthews Arena

Innovations in social media, mobile technology, robotics, and artificial intelligence have fundamentally transformed our lives and the way we interact with each other. By 2050, affordable housing could be built by 3D printers, drones could deliver clean water or life-saving medicines, and renewables could be our biggest energy source. Yet projections also point to a world where atmospheric carbon dioxide levels will have doubled since the pre-industrial era, where natural resources are strained by a population of almost 10 billion, where rising temperatures and a lack of sanitation increases the risk of tropical diseases, and where a growing climate refugee crisis threatens to create a generation of children deprived of the skills or opportunity to fulfill their potential. To address these existential challenges, a new generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and creative problem solvers are developing new models for carbon neutrality, from residential solar to fuel-efficient transportation.  They are harnessing the power of design to build responsive and resilient health delivery systems. In this session, panelists will explore how students and universities can:

  • Establish courses, academic programs, labs, and maker spaces focused on climate change and public health, where hands-on experience is required, unconventional thinking is encouraged, and collaboration is critical,

  • Incentivize discovery, invention, and innovation among students through a wide range of seed funding challenges, pitch competitions, and mentorship opportunities, and

  • Ensure that a culture of sustainable design is democratized across universities and geographies, rooted in full community participation and real-world results.

WORKING SESSIONS
3:45 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. EST
PRESS PRE-SET: 3:15 p.m. EST

Skills vs. Degrees
Interdisciplinary Science & Engineering Complex, Ground Floor, Auditorium 102

Post-secondary degrees are one of the best ways for a young workforce to gain marketable and employable skills in today’s global, digital economy. However, as total student debt reaches over $1.2 trillion in the United States and rising costs of living push an increasing number of students to take out loans for basic living expenses, traditional post-secondary options may not always be the most efficient pathway to economic mobility. Proponents of traditional 4-year college degrees argue that post-secondary education enables students to think critically, communicate complex ideas, and develop long-term leadership capabilities. Yet many trade schools, community colleges, and apprenticeships are more affordable, responsive to shifts in market demand, and offer sector-specific skills and high rates of immediate job placement. In a time when the job market has become increasingly competitive and fluid, and in which artificial intelligence and advanced automation could upend traditional assumptions about employment, many students, schools, and employers are exploring alternatives to traditional college education.

 In this session, panelists and participants will discuss:

  • How can post-secondary programs foster creativity, entrepreneurship, and other qualities that automation cannot replace, so that students can be prepared for the opportunities of the future in addition to being trained for the jobs of today?

  • What skills and disciplines will be most relevant to employers in the future, and what programs or learning approaches are becoming obsolete?  

  • Independent of specific “hard skills”, what “soft skills” are most valuable to employers, and how can those be developed across all post-secondary training models?

  • What learning models will best answer the needs of a diverse population of post-secondary learners, many of whom are many of whom are nontraditional?  

Participants:

  • D'wayne Edwards, founder, PENSOLE Footwear Design Academy           

  • Andrew McAfee, principal research scientist, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan School of Management

  • Joseph E. Aoun, president, Northeastern University

Is the Sharing Economy Sustainable?
Ell Hall, Blackman Auditorium

The sharing economy has transformed our everyday lives, redefining the way we travel, access capital, purchase goods, and even eat a meal. Advocates believe that the sharing economy is not only more efficient, but can also create more social and environmental impact. Carpooling networks can reduce carbon emissions and reduce transportation costs; entrepreneurs can receive peer-to-peer loans at lower rates than traditional banks; and free online courses and open data sets can democratize access to educational tools and information. Yet an increasing emphasis on access over ownership does not always lead to more sustainable outcomes or long-term behavior changes. Critics argue that the sharing economy often boosts financial insecurity and weakens the social safety net by creating a new class of part-time, low-paid jobs without traditional employee benefits. Others maintain that the sharing economy is really an access economy, providing easier access to other people’s goods and services rather than actually sharing them.

In this session, panelists and participants will discuss:

  • Can the sharing economy model scale and succeed around the world, and can it be used to help raise living standards without reducing wages and incentivizing unsustainable consumption patterns?

  • How can the sharing economy increase collaboration rather than commerce alone?

  • How can peer-to-peer models create environmental impact, ensuring that more services are provided with fewer products?

  • Diana Tellefson Torres, executive director, UFW Foundation

  • Arun Sundararajan, professor of business, New York University         

LGBTQ Equality: Overcoming the Backlash
LOC: Curry Student Center, Ground Floor, West Addition       

The LGBTQ community has made historic progress in achieving greater rights and visibility: there are now 22 countries in the world where same-sex couples can marry, up from zero in 2000.  A record number of openly LGBTQ athletes participated at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Yet this progress has also yielded a disturbing backlash: in the U.S., LGBTQ people are more likely to be targets of hate crimes than any other minority group, while three in four LGBTQ students on college campuses reported experiencing sexual harassment. Internationally, 76 countries have laws against sexual relations between people of the same sex. To create and sustain more inclusive and equitable environments around the world, it is essential for communities to support victims of abuse and violence and to speak out against discrimination, homophobia, and transphobia. 

In this session, panelists and CGI U commitment-makers will explore how to:

  • Respond effectively to discrimination, hate speech and incidences of violence by creating an environment of safety and equality through safe spaces, support services and displays of public solidarity with LGBTQ coalitions and ally groups,

  • Develop social media tools and effective storytelling techniques that increase awareness and raise the profile of ongoing challenges and issues affecting the LGBTQ community, and  

  • Support efforts to promote LGBTQ rights around the world, change discriminatory laws and amplify LGBTQ voices to move beyond established workplace protections and transform public attitudes in order to build a true culture of inclusion.

Participants:

  • Rebecca Adams, senior editor, Refinery29

  • Nadine Smith. CEO, Equality Florida

  • Sam Dorison, chief of staff, The Trevor Project

  • Blair Imani, executive director, Equality for HER

  • Schuyler Bailar, first transgender NCAA D1 men’s athlete

Addressing Youth Homelessness in the US
Fenway Center, Ground Floor

On any given night, there are over 500,000 Americans living on the streets, in emergency housing, or in homeless shelters. Twenty-three percent of them are young people under 18, and nine percent are between the ages of 18-24. Many of these youth have fled family trauma or sexual abuse, have aged out of foster care, or have been thrown out of their homes because they identify as gay or transgender. In response, a wide range of social enterprises, volunteer networks, and public-private partnerships are launching initiatives to better address the complex needs of this population.  In addition to providing short-term emergency shelter, advocates are looking to connect youth with trauma-informed and gender-responsive services, mental health counseling, and programs that help adolescents stay in school, graduate from high school, and access financial aid for college.

In this session, panelists and CGI U commitment-makers will explore how to:

  • Ensure that vulnerable youth and their families have access to permanent supportive housing, in order to provide health care, education, and job training services in addition to immediate shelter,

  • Create individualized, needs-based mentorship programs that are relevant to homeless youth and those transitioning out of the foster care system, and

  • Expand services and support networks that can enable homeless youth to reunite with their families, including crisis hotlines, street outreach programs, transportation vouchers, and in-home family counseling

Participants:

  • Sixto Cancel, CEO, Think of Us

  • Mariuma Ben Yosef, founder and CEO, Shanti House Association

  • Nan Roman, president, National Alliance to End Homelessness

  • Elisabeth Jackson, executive director, Bridge Over Troubled Waters

Preventing and Responding to Sexual Assault on Campus
East Village, 17th Floor Ballroom

Almost 20 percent of female students will experience rape or a sexual assault during their time at college, with the majority of student victims knowing their attacker. Yet under 15 percent of sexual assault victims on campus ever report the crime to law enforcement. While less common, and even more underreported, male students are also victimized. Several factors make the university environment distinct in terms of responding to and preventing sexual assault. Universities have a special responsibility to protect their students– whether in partnership with, or independent of, law enforcement. Throughout the process, they must consider the impact of an assault on the victim, the attacker, and the entire school community.

In this session, panelists and CGI U commitment-makers will discuss how to:

  • Create a culture in which sexual assault is not tolerated, promoting effective bystander intervention, self-defense training, and access to university resources and comprehensive care that support survivors of sexual assault,

  • Utilize technology designed to provide a confidential reporting platform for college sexual assault survivors and to help schools facilitate the identification of repeat assailants, and

  • Ensure that campaigns and initiatives against sexual assault on campus are student-driven and rooted in the experiences and perspectives of young people.
