About

The Foster Tech Club’s vision is to help its members reach their career goals and become the center of tech and business in the Pacific Northwest.  

Our mission is to create an engaging community to empower all Foster MBAs and to promote the education and success of our members within the technology industry.  

Foster Tech Club will accomplish this by collaborating with the local tech community, students and alumni with experience in the tech industry, and the greater UW community to provide our members with tech-related educational, networking, and growth opportunities. The Club intends to be a diverse community that drives meaningful impact for the Foster School, Pacific Northwest region, and the tech industry via strategic partnerships and contribution.
