Are you looking to stretch your imagination and creativity? Do you need something interesting to talk about in job interviews? Looking to join a research lab?
Join Collectively! We organize extremely low time commitment reading groups that explore the latest innovations at the intersection of computing and society. This phase, our reading group themes explore topics being actively researched by Prof. Yang Liu; Prof. Leila Takayama, Human Robot Interaction Lab; Prof. Jim Whitehead; Prof. Angus Forbes, Creative Coding Lab; Prof. Eddie Melcer, Alt Games Lab; Prof. Jose Renau, MASC; Prof. Daniel Fremont; and Prof. David Lee, Tech4Good Lab.

We have a diverse cohort from freshmen to PhD students across many disciplines. No prior knowledge is expected - all students are encouraged to join! We know you're busy, so reading groups are extremely light. Groups meet one-hour a week for four weeks. That's it! You are only committing to read and summarize a single paper during that time.
