 September Highlights with Dean Prabhudev Konana
“I’ve been energized by a summer of planning. We are launching a bold new strategic plan for the Smith School to continue our pursuit of academic excellence and to address the changing marketplace. Our purpose is to generate and disseminate new and impactful knowledge, and to provide a transformational, integrated, interdisciplinary experience that unleashes student creativity to challenge the status quo, builds their ability to think critically and independently, and empowers them to drive a prosperous future for the benefit of all."

With machine learning and big data becoming increasingly important components of the business world, researchers like Sinha Roy are using concepts from mathematical sciences to solve real world business problems. Read Debdatta's full story.
