The Topic Pitch is a one-page document that provides an overview of a student's proposed advocacy project goals and how they could be accomplished. Pitches will be submitted electronically. Each student will have one minute to deliver his or her pitch to the class. Excellent topic pitches will outline a specific, tangible, beneficial change that is possible in the local environment and discuss the technological means to effect it. After the individual pitches, the class will vote on five topics to pursue. Students whose pitches are selected will receive individual bonus points for the project. The class will then break into groups based on the chosen topics.

Sign up will be on a first-come basis.) Pitch documents will be submitted through DROPitTOme using the following information:
