These activities will include:
- Service-learning projects with nonprofit and civic organizations
- Datathon competitions to address issues impacting the local and national economy
- Case, business, and financial planning competitions sponsored by local and national organizations
- Undergraduate research symposiums focusing on faculty and student data science and analytics research projects.
