‘Year of …’ initiative will focus on Data and Society in the 2020-21 academic year. In announcing the initiative, Provost Cudd said "Data science now permeates education, government, medicine, engineering, entertainment, science, the arts, humanities and business, touching nearly every facet of life. All parts of our University collect and use data and each offers unique perspectives on how data can contribute to student and faculty success, human well-being, and the greater social good."
