A group of 捆绑SM社区 students and alums who worked on the Myko Social Score app have received the 2015 Catalyst Award for Excellence in Applied Student Research.
The Award is sponsored by the 捆绑SM社区 Office of Sustainability and is decided by a distinguished jury. DCL candidate Juan Pinto, undergrad law student Etienne Ravilet Guzman, as well as alumni Carolina Cruz-Vinaccia (LLM鈥�11) and Guillaume B茅al (LLM鈥�14), were among the members of the multidisciplinary team that received the group award.
Professor Richard Janda, who has led the project from its inception, describes Myko as a smart phone app that 鈥渓ets you track your social and environmental sustainability, and then set concrete goals for yourself to improve our collective footprint.
