So excited to once again be @NewAmericaPIT #PITUN2021 Challenge Grantee! We will establish the @cunyPIT lab @CSIStGeorge. Furthering our commitment to increasing equity and access to degree paths and careers focused on #PublicInterestTech

@NewAmericaPIT @CUNY is positioned as the most racially and ethnically diverse university system in the country to be a leading voice in a #PITUN2021 ecosystem centered on racial and social justice. Our #PITUN2021 Challenge centers CUNY’s commitment to the broader aims of @NewAmericaPIT.

@NewAmericaPIT Our #PITUN2021 Challenge grant @CSIStGeorge empowers diverse students with tech tools to meet challenges that they have faced in their home communities.

@NewAmericaPIT Inclusive #PublicInterestTech centers the voices of those who have been historically and systemically excluded from the design and implementation of tech advances.

@NewAmericaPIT @CUNY is well placed to be a leading voice in building a national PIT ecosystem centered on racial and social justice. All of our #PITUN2021 Challenge Grant funded projects are excellent examples of our commitment to this principle and to the broader aims of @NewAmericaPIT

Last, but not least, an interview with @ProfKT discusses the implications of smartphone practices for generating feelings safety and security in public space and how smartphones can both enhance and limit the ways women participate in public space (7/8) tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

@carlosgenatios @NewAmericaPIT So excited to partner with you this year!! Let's get to work :)

@NewAmericaPIT we are working hard to build resilient communities affected by natural hazards, to reduce the risk of disasters. We do it by building educational pathways and doing research for the underrepresented minorities, those who are affected the most

We're excited to welcome these new grantees to #PITUN2021! As awareness rises about #PublicInterestTech in civic, social & psychological life, @NewAmericaPIT announces 31 new grants totaling $3.61M to 24 universities. Learn more: pitcases.org/challenge/ youtu.be/W8IoSnUw8RY

Question 4: How can we ensure that the field of #PublicInterestTech is inclusive, diverse, and responsive to the communities it exists to bring into the field?

@NewAmericaPIT @CSIStGeorge values supporting our local community and cultivating that next generation of #PublicInterestTechnologists aimed at amplifying diverse community voices through tech-based tools alongside a strong foundation in the liberal arts & sciences.

@NewAmericaPIT Our #PITUN2021 Challenge Grant establishes the @CUNYPIT Lab @CSIStGeorge. This lab strengthens @CUNY participation in the #PITUN by building strong diverse student talent pipelines, encouraging workforce transformation and engaging community related to #PublicInterestTech.

Question 2: How do you think #PublicInterestTech can be used to strengthen communities and build equity across members of society? #PITUN2021

Question 1: Why is it important to you and/or your institution to support #PublicInterestTech? #PITUN2021
