Class Overview
The SoCIETIE Initiative runs in every session and semester, but there are a few differences in how we focus:
- Semester-based courses are generally supported with a regular series of KNoTs - this is great if you want to learn broadly over the pattern of semester
- Autumn, Spring and Summer sessions are generally for independent projects - this is great if you want to dedicate time to a social impact project you are bringing to the course
- Winter 2026 will host an intensive ‘Ideas Summit’
