Hello Everyone, In preparation for the fall quarter, I wanted to invite you all to attend in the one credit Change Seminar on Thursdays at noon 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 are 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), or mailing list (http://is.gd/3PlkS) for more information. Please consider enrolling (CSE590C1, SLN: 19341). 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 Thursday October 1 at noon in Room 203 of the Paul Allen Center. Thanks, Nell

This Thursday at Change, we will hear from our first speaker Ed Cutrell, director of the Technology for Emerging Markets (TEM) group at Microsoft Research India (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/groups/tem/). Ed will be providing an overview of current TEM projects, and answering questions about the research group. We will also give an overview of the goals of the Change Seminar and discuss our schedule for this quarter.
