The Saint Louis University Social Change and Innovation Conference, which takes place January 30 from 10 am -5 pm, seeks to bridge the gap between ideas and implementing them. Participants will gain a broader understanding of social issues, seek to find solutions to social problems, and participate in social change by collaborating with others for a common purpose.

After the conference, students will have the opportunity to apply for a bright idea grant, and have the chance to earn up to $2,000 to help implement their plan and make it a reality.
