Unify Challenge: Students

This Libguide is dedicated to the Unify Challenge, a face-to-face video conversation between two students who attend different schools and may vote differently, live in different geographies, or have different life experiences.

How to Participate

  1. Sign up for the Spring 2026 Unify Challenge will open in mid-January - we will insert the sign up link here as soon as it goes live - please sign up with your MDC student email (mymdc.net) so a report can more easily be sent to your professor if you are doing the challenge for class credit. If you can't find your professor's name or are doing the challenge on your own, select "Josh Young" as your "instructor."
  2. Watch the two videos on the About Tab.
