1. Wells Innovation Students need your vote!!

The Innovation students in BUS 250 worked with people from all over the world on an online Amnesty International Challenge. The question: “How can technology help people working to uphold human rights in the face of unlawful detention?” Out of 164 ideas that were submitted, Amnesty International chose their favorite 16. AND ONE OF THESE IS FROM WELLS COLLEGE!! Today the Evaluation period begins. If you have a minute – it really just takes a minute –
please give some love to our Innovation students who have worked so hard on this very difficult challenge. As far as a login, you can use Facebook, or create your own account. Look for the concept “Help, I’m being detained and I can’t get free!” That’s us! Select “Evaluate” and then answer a few short questions about their concept. Here’s the link: http://www.openideo.com/open/amnesty/concepting/-help-i-m-being-detained-and-i-can-t-get-free-/
