Due to COVID-19, the Rist DifferenceMaker $50,000 Idea Challenge will be conducted in a virtual manner this year. The field has been narrowed down from a diverse and competitive pool of 62 applications to just 10 teams who will pitch their ventures to a panel of alumni judges for a chance to win $50,000 in funding. Awards will be announced on April 18 via DifferenceMaker social media: Twitter: @Difference_UML; Instagram: @DifferenceMakerUML
