I am a Spring 2021 graduate from Missouri State University and an aspiring advertising professional. This is my second program with EdVenture Partners, and through this experience, I have discovered a passion for violence prevention and community empowerment. I enjoy taking on new challenges and designing creative, comprehensive solutions. I hope to continue working for social change in my future career.

“The I2P program has allowed me to engage with my campus and local community and make a tangible impact. My team was able to take on the extremely complex but relevant issue of white supremacy and create tools to address it within our own community. In just one semester, we implemented a comprehensive campaign, tested it with a large, diverse group of individuals, and measured the overwhelmingly positive impact. Invent to Prevent made that possible.” - Lauren

The Fuse Campaign leaves a lasting impact on all who engage with it because of its focus on connection, conversation, and understanding. The efforts of multiple local organizations and university departments are fused together to create a support network of local resources. Users come away informed, engaged, and empowered to counter the factors contributing to radicalization in their community.
