Grand Challenges is an organization where students work together in small teams to tackle the world's biggest wicked problems. All of the students in the program form a close community by living together in either Howell or Cloudman Residence hall, and they take a class together where they can work towards solving the "grand challenge" of their choice. Grand Challenges students are given dozens of opportunities including dinners with faculty and professors, breakfasts with administrators, and fun excursions into the city and beyond.
