I would like to get an Effective Altruism group started (more like resurrected) at UW. I don't know any EAs currently attending, but I would love to get in touch with any of you who are! It's a big school, so I figure there's a good chance there are some (aspiring) EAs in the crowd.
Setting expectations without making it exclusive seems good.
"Seminar program" or "seminar" or "reading group" or "intensive reading group" sound like good names to me.
I'm guessing there is a way to run such a group in a way that both you and I would be happy about.
