10. App Development Opportunity
We are working on a senior
project to create an app that is an all-inclusive connection, support, and
resource center for survivors of sexual violence and abuse. We have a lot of
research and content completed that has shaped the concept of our app, but are
still looking for someone to develop the app itself. We are looking for an
individual or individuals who are passionate about helping this population and
making a difference for the better. Working on this project would qualify as a
senior project for Spring Quarter.
If you might be interested
and would like to learn more, please message Kate or Jovi at ksorel@calpoly.edu or jcalavel@calpoly.edu. Thank you!
