RIT Team Wins State Department Challenge to Combat Terrorism
A social media campaign created by Rochester Institute of Technology students took top prize in a global challenge to counter terrorist propaganda online.
The RIT team was the only group from the United States to reach the finals of the P2P: Challenging Extremism competition, and became the first U.S. team to win first place, defeating this year’s other finalist teams from Versalius College in Brussels and Khazar University in Baku, Azerbaijan.
