For anyone who had trouble registering for the Change seminar next quarter, the seminar was incorrectly listed in the class schedule. The correct details are CSE 590 C1, SLN 12718. The seminar will be on Tuesdays from 12-1pm. Apologies for any confusion! On Fri, Nov 30, 2012 at 11:25 AM, Nicola Dell <nixdell@cs.washington.edu>wrote:
Hello Everyone,
In preparation for the winter quarter, I want to invite you all to register for the one credit Change Seminar (CSE 590 C1, SLN: 12581) on Tuesdays from 12-1pm 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 winter 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), or mailing list (http://is.gd/3PlkS) for more information.
Please consider enrolling. If you are unable to enroll, 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 enroll/attend if interested.
Please forward this message to the relevant mailing lists, and we hope to see you on Tuesday January 15th at noon in Room 203 of the Paul Allen Center.
Thanks, Nicki
