During the 2013 NCAA basketball tournaments, the "Sweet 16" of CGI U squared off in the third annual CGI U Commitments Challenge, a competition of ideas from college and university students.

In this competition of social innovation, enterprise, and sustainability, winners advanced based on the number of votes received.

Davier Rodriguez
Arizona State University
As a first generation college student and the son of Cuban immigrants, I am passionate about increasing access and support for undocumented students in Arizona. My CGI U Commitment to Action, DREAMzone, will establish a national network of allies to support undocumented students. It will offer a four hour ally certification course that breaks down preconceived notions of undocumented students and educates participants on federal, state, and local challenges. I hope to enhance undocumented students' higher education experiences by creating a national network of supportive allies.
