About Us

The Society and Technology Interest Group (soctech) is an informal interest group among University of Washington Computer Science and Engineering (UW-CSE) students that aims to promote awareness of various social computing issues, in both CSE and the UW. We collaborate with other departments, with possible aims including the production of cross-departmental courses, lecture series, or white papers. Find out more about the group's goals and our seminar.
