Feedback sought for data science initiative

Last fall, several forums were held seeking input on strategies for Purdue's new data science initiative being led by the Office of the Provost and the Office of the Executive Vice President for Research and Partnerships. Using input from the forums, a Data Science Working Group of faculty nominated by the colleges generated a report and recommendations, and feedback now is being sought on the report.
