Fritz Family Fellowship

The Fritz Family Fellowship is a unique program that is designed to be interdisciplinary from the ground up. Each research project is co-designed and mentored by faculty from at least two different parts of the campus, building multiple disciplines into the foundation of the research. Building on expertise from across Tech & Society, the Fritz Family Fellowship aims to cultivate the next generation of leaders with expertise in the social impacts of technology, and build a network of public interest technologists who learn from and support each other’s work.
