"PIT encouraged me to hone a people and community-centric outlook towards technology. Each class that I took as part of the certificate has inspired me to be on the conscientious side of technological advancement. In fact, some of the most memorable classes that I have been enrolled in during my time at UMass, have been in pursuit of the certificate. Through engaging with admirable faculty and peers, I have learnt a great deal about PIT's impact across fields such as economics, sociology, information science, data science, and others. I feel incredibly grateful to have completed this certificate and I look forward to exploring PIT post graduation."
