Students for International Development

SID

Students for International Development is a club for students interest in improving living conditions and opportunities for people around the world in a healthy, sustainable way.

Mission

1. Increase understanding about development issues and best practices
2. Provide students with opportunities to participate in the development field on campus and in the community
3. Create a community of interdisciplinary, like-minded students engaged in international development

Activities

Activities include guest speakers, panel discussions, film viewings, advocacy campaigns, projects with local organizations, and community service.

One of our largest projects is the Hunger Banquet, an annual winter semester event to raise awareness about poverty and fund sustainable development.

Membership

We see international development as a holistic process. Rather than proposing one single solution to other people’s problems, our club explores approaches that draw on all disciplines and cultures. SID is affiliated with the International Development Minor but welcomes students from all majors and minors on campus, regardless of past experience or future plans in the field of international development.

SID requires no club dues or fees for membership.
