Their purpose is to facilitate conversations about technology and its social and ethical implications.

“SHU Innovate Club has been nothing but fun from the first day I joined. Every week I look forward to our meetings just so I get to see my friends and learn new skills. I’ve not only enhanced my coding skills, but also made friends along the way that I will forever be grateful for. I was hesitant heading into the Innovate Club because I didn’t think I was intelligent enough to join. DO NOT let this stop you from joining! Every member there, even if they are insanely smart, is friendly and willing to help you learn. I definitely recommend joining Innovate Club. It was the best decision I’ve made my spring semester.” ~Erica Class of 2023
