Great News! We are extending the application deadline for the 2025-2026 HASTAC Scholars Program! HASTAC Scholars is a dynamic community of graduate and undergraduate students working across the intersections of technology, arts, humanities, and sciences. Scholars engage in collaborative projects, lead discussions, contribute to online forums, and showcase their research through various digital platforms. Open to students from all disciplines, the program offers a unique opportunity to connect globally, develop innovative projects, and help shape equitable educational systems.
Undergraduate Researchers, are you getting ready to present your research?!
Please join City Tech’s Profs. Davide, Alcendor, and Xiao for this semester’s final workshops, focused on helping you design a research poster presentation.
