Public interest technology (PIT) refers to the study and application of technology expertise to advance the public interest, generate public benefits, and promote the public good. Join us to hear from GC Political Science alumna Sarah Kostecki, who is the Director of Data and Business Intelligence at the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC).
