PIT@UMass

PIT@UMass is an all-campus initiative with content that is both synergistic across the UMass Amherst campus and targeted to specific domains. 

What is PIT@UMASS?

The Public Interest Technology Initiative at UMass Amherst (PIT@UMass) seeks to develop educational, research, practice and outreach offerings across UMass Amherst’s diverse schools and colleges.  PIT@UMass seeks to empower students and the broader community with the critical thinking, expertise, and information needed to promote personal and professional social responsibility and the common good in a tech-driven world.  PIT@UMass is proud to be a member of the national Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN).
