Smart, Connected Communities Welcome Address - Jennifer Hirsch, Rafael Bras

Serve-Learn-Sustain is hosting this satellite conference for the second year in a row as part of the NSF-sponsored Integrated Network for Social Sustainability (INSS), launched by UNC-Charlotte “to encourage a greater appreciation for social aspects of sustainability with a particular focus on engineering and its allied professions.” This annual, multi-site conference is brought together via webcast. We are excited to co-host this year’s conference with GT’s NSF REU Civic Data Science Program (Data Science for Social Good) and The Institute for People and Technology.
