2019 Viterbi Awards - Min Family Challenge

The Min Family Challenge was established by alumnus Bryan Min and his wife Julie to support students who use engineering and technology to develop sustainable and effective solutions for global problems, positively affecting the greater society.

In 2019, 34 students from 24 different majors and 7 USC schools traveled to the Greek island of Lesvos during 8 months of R&D, on-the-ground testing, and rapid prototyping based on human centered design, culminating in 5 innovative products and social enterprises built especially for refugees and displaced people in partnership with local communities, international aid organizations, local government and refugee global partners.
