A team of students from the Middlebury Institute took first place and $5,000 in the national campaign competition Invent2Prevent. The contest invited university teams to address hate, bias, and extremism through student-built campaigns. Middlebury’s team completed its own original research and ultimately came up with “Diverting Hate,” where at-risk populations are located online, intercepted, and redirected.
