How did Michelle's diverse background, from the Jellyvision creative team behind "You Don't Know Jack" to digital health solutions, shape her approach to fostering unity & collaboration at Unify America?

What is the Unify Challenge College Bowl, & how has it connected over 10,000 students across geographic & ideological differences for respectful conversations?

From staying curious to perspective-taking, what skills & norms does Unify America focus on imparting to students to equip them for bridging divides?

How are faculty incorporating the College Bowl into curricula across disciplines, & what benefits are they seeing in terms of student confidence & civic engagement?

With a new "deep dive" format focusing on a single topic like gun violence, how might Unify's model be adapted for healthcare students to build cultural competence?
