New Ideas: A Dialogue Project Competition

Duke University is searching for undergraduate students dedicated to exploring the different ways business can be a  force for good in society. Current students in  their freshman, sophomore or junior year  of a four-year degree program at a U.S. college or university are invited to share their proposal for how a company, set of  companies or industry sector can have positive impact on a specific community, population, location, industry or the environment at large.

You are welcome to pick existing companies or industries or present an entrepreneurial idea of your  own. Your proposal will highlight any ways in which your idea will contribute to improving civil discourse and reducing polarization in society.

Ten grand prize winners will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Duke's Fuqua School of Business where  they will present their proposals  to influential business leaders and  participate in a live  case study. Winners who apply to and are admitted to one of Fuqua's one-year master’s programs will also receive some partial scholarship funding.
