Are you interested in the effects of technology on economic and social 
development? Do you wonder if mobile phones will replace PCs? Curious about 
open data and open research? Passionate about access to technology, 
communication, and information resources? Well, we have a great event for you! 
Come learn about the Technology & Social Change Group 
(TASCHA)<http://tascha.uw.edu/> the U.S. IMPACT 
Study<http://impact.ischool.uw.edu/> on October 2, 2013! At this event, we will 
introduce TASCHA and the U.S. IMPACT Study, two research groups focused on 
issues like digital inclusion, impact & evaluation, and access to information, 
communication, and technology resources.

While especially targeted to newcomers to the university community, both TASCHA 
and the U.S. IMPACT Study are always coming up with new interests and projects 
so people who know us already are encouraged to come as well. We'll cover the 
fields we operate in, our missions, research projects, and other activities. 
You'll meet the fabulous researchers, program staff, and students who work at 
TASCHA and the U.S. IMPACT Study. For those interested, we'll also discuss how 
you can get involved with our research. There'll be plenty of time for 
questions and discussion, and of course, yummy refreshments!

We hope to see you there!
