The lack of affordable pharmaceutical access in rural communities is a nationwide crisis for up to 14% of American homes. Pharm to Farm believes that individuals in rural areas deserve the treatment and accessibility that urban and suburban areas receive. Through our approach, we help to bridge this accessibility gap by empowering those marginalized homes to affordably access pharmaceutical health resources. Pharm to Farm achieves this with our business model that allows individuals to get their medications delivered at a cost of only $35 per month.

Transportation around campus on time is crucial for in-person college students looking to succeed in their studies. Unfortunately, inequities have arisen between the ability of able-bodied students to get to and from class and permanently or temporarily disabled students looking to do the same. ASU’s solution to this problem, the Disability Access and Resource Transportation (DART) service, does not adequately address the needs of its targeted customers properly. Unfortunately, student surveys and anecdotal evidence from students’ lived experiences have demonstrated that DART often leaves students waiting for more than half an hour for a ride, causes students to miss class, and is altogether unreliable in today’s age where punctuality is key to success. Our goal in our thesis project was to create an equal on-campus transportation playing field for students with and without mobility issues so that a students’ ability to get around campus would never serve as a hindrance to his/her ability to, at a minimum, earn a degree; ideally empowering all students to thrive regardless of their personal circumstances.
