mtvU to Launch Student-Developed "Darfur is Dying" Online Game
New York - MTV Networks' mtvU college TV network on Thursday announced plans to launch "Darfur is Dying," a Web-based game created by students at the University of Southern California. The game won the network's "Darfur Digital Activist" competition, aimed at halting the genocide taking place in Sudan. The free online game will be launched on Sunday during an mtvU event in Washington called "Save Darfur: Rally to Stop Genocide".

many more folks were critical members of the project - and we are so incredibly grateful for everyone's support:
This project was produced by students under the advisement of experts. The team was lead by Susana Ruiz and Ashley York, graduate students in the School of Cinema-Television's Interactive Media Division at the University of Southern California. We worked with our colleagues, scholars, alumni and experts to create what we hope will contribute to an increase of awareness about Darfur and an end to the crisis.
