Through an effort spearheaded by Ohio State’s Battelle Center for Science, Engineering and Public Policy, the university has officially joined the Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN) with New America, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank. This group of 42 universities and colleges is committed to developing a new generation of technologists working within the public interest.
Through the development of curricula, research agendas and experiential learning programs in the public interest technology space, these universities are trying innovative tactics to produce graduates with multiple fluencies at the intersection of technology and policy.
