*Subject:* Request to forward DSSG Fellowship information to students
I'm writing from the Data Science for Social Good fellowship at the
University of Chicago. I was wondering if you could forward the
following information about our program to your computer science
graduate students? Many thanks in advance.

*Apply for the Data Science for Social Good Summer Fellowship!*
Looking to use or develop your data science skills to solve socially
impactful problems? Does the idea of helping non-profits, governments,
or foundations better understand and leverage their data appeal to you?
What about developing predictive algorithms to help high schools improve
graduation rates, text-mining congressional spending bills to uncover
costly earmarks, or helping governments develop new strategies to reduce
maternal mortality?
If so, then consider applying for the Data Science for Social Good
(DSSG) Summer Fellowship
<http://dssg.uchicago.edu/?utm_source=ne_email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=dept_outreach_compsci>,
a 3 month paid program for quantitatively minded folks looking to take
on high-impact, real-world, problems. Run by the University of Chicago
and funded by the Eric & Wendy Schmidt Foundation, DSSG pairs teams of
social scientists, computer scientists, and statisticians with
non-profit, government, or philanthropic partners to work on an
impactful project from June to August. Projects span a variety of
sectors, including education, health, international development, and
sustainability. Throughout the summer, fellows apply their coding and
analytics skills, collaborate in a fast-paced environment, and learn
from mentors coming from industry and academia.
Applications for the fellowship are due Feb 1. Find more about the
program (including the application and FAQs) here:
