\t\t\t\tThe conflict in Darfur<\/a> has been going on since 2003. Without question it has provoked countless rights protests, fundraisers, and much more activism among students across the nation.<\/p>\n

There are students in Detroit running for the cause<\/a>, students at USC who created a film<\/a> about the cause, and not to mention over 3,000 Darfur<\/a> videos on YouTube that shed light about the issue.
\nBut what does this really all mean, and did the creator of the For Every 1,000 that join this group I will donate $1 to Darfur<\/a> really pay up?<\/p>\n

It’s hard to know and nearly impossible to quantify everyone’s efforts because they are so scattered and massive. Our challenge to seniors is if you haven’t already aligned with a worthy cause, now’s the time!
