Hello Everyone, In preparation for the 2011 fall quarter, I wanted to invite you all to register for the one credit Change Seminar (Course number: CSE590C1, SLN: 12464). The seminar is held on Thursdays at 12pm in the Paul Allen Center (Room 203).
Change (http://change.washington.edu) is a group of faculty, students, and staff at the UW who are exploring the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in improving the lives of underserved populations, particularly in the developing world. We cover topics such as global health, education, micro finance, agricultural development, and general communication, and look at how technology can be used to improve each of these areas. This fall we will be alternating between talks by invited speakers and group discussions. Those who sign up for credit will be asked to participate in leading one of the discussions (this requires very little work and can be done in groups). We are in the process of scheduling speakers, so stay tuned to our calendar (http://is.gd/3PkTF), Twitter (http://is.gd/3PkVk). Also please feel free to subscribe to the Change mailing list ( http://is.gd/3PlkS) for more information. Please consider registering. If you are unable to register, feel free to come to any of the meetings you are interested in attending! The seminar is available for all UW students and the content is designed to be widely accessible. We encourage students from all departments to register/attend if interested. Please forward this message to the relevant mailing lists, and we hope to see you at the first meeting on *Thursday October 6 at 12pm in Room CSE 203*of the Paul Allen Center. Thanks, Nicki -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://changemm.cs.washington.edu/mailman/private/change/attachments/20110913/c38440e3/attachment.html>
