The Polling and Open Data Initiative at the University of Washington is powered by a dedicated and growing team passionate about generating, analyzing, and visualizing data for public use. If you are an undergraduate or graduate student at the University of Washington passionate about our mission, we invite you to apply! If you are not currently at the University of Washington, please view our application for affiliate membership.

We’re looking for students from all backgrounds and interests; we need writers, data analysts, communicators, event planners, and so forth. If you want to create interesting polls, analyze patterns in data, build beautiful visualizations, and share our findings with the world – in an open, creative, and collaborative environment – we’re looking for you. 

To start, please tell us a little more about yourself and your interests! Our application for Spring Quarter is currently open until Friday, April 15!
