Activities directed at “including” more people in the use of digital technology are predicated on the assumption that such inclusion is invariably a good thing. It appears so, when judged solely by immediate practical convenience. However, if we also judge in terms of human rights, whether digital inclusion is good or bad depends on what kind of digital world we are to be included in. If we wish to work towards digital inclusion as a goal, it behooves us to make sure it is the good kind.
Hey Students! A life was cut short last year and Professor Annu Prabhakar is putting together a scholarship to remember her by.
“Dear friends, colleagues and family of Sarah
Greetings from UC. My name is Annu Prabhakar and I was a professor of Sarah Pullen. Sarah was a model student at the University of Cincinnati and president of our Women in IT Student organization.
After learning of Sarah’s passing this past year, I have wanted to do something in her memory – to celebrate how she lived her life and the beautiful spirit that radiated from her. We have started the Sarah Marie Pullen Information Technology Scholarship Fund to provide scholarships to deserving IT students in Sarah’s memory.
I invite you to join Dean Lawrence Johnson and the Department of Information Technology for an informal gathering as we kick off the Sarah Marie Pullen Scholarship fundraising campaign“
