The Center for Digital Inclusion has a mission to foster inclusive and sustainable societies through research, teaching, and public engagement about information and communication technologies (ICTs) and their impacts on communities, organizations, and governments.
Our Impact
Educate.Research is where we educate. We educate on relevant and urgent issues.
We educate ourselves and the broad audiences that we serve on issues related to the information and communication technologies which support innovations that light the way in our digital world. Those innovations allow us to compete on a global scale.
Engage.Teaching is where we engage. We engage stakeholders from all sides.
We engage students, faculty and staff, business leaders, community organizations, government agencies and individuals in partnership to advance digital literacy and digital inclusion efforts that address social and economic inequities.
Empower.Public Engagement is where we empower. We empower people to strategically partner toward collective action.
We empower people and places to push their own agenda and create the future that their specific communities need. Information and engagement empowers people towards collective action and change.
