You&#8217;re making a sizable donation. Where and why?<\/p>\n<p>So MassMutual is donating $1million to Boston University&#8217;s Faculty of Computing &amp; Data Sciences. This is a gift that is going to fund a professor with real-world expertise, boost diversity efforts in the field, and award some undergraduate stipends as we look to continue to support data science and data\u00a0 engineering. So I think we have a very very strong uh community in the data science and data engineering and with this gift we hope it can continue to further develop young talent for the Boston community.<\/p>\n<p>Can you help connect some dots for us? How would data science improve business?<\/p>\n<p>Sure. MassMutual&#8217;s business revolves heavily around using science, engineering, technology and data partnerships to really help inform strategic business decisions. By securing leveraging data about people&#8217;s age, health, lifestyle, and other factors it let&#8217;s us create better policies for our customers and for our company and really for the customer&#8217;s benefit. That data let&#8217;s us run a better business and let&#8217;s us create better solutions for our clients and customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MassMutual on Bloomberg Radio, speaking about the partnership with Boston University announced August 24, 2021<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1690,"featured_media":1619,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[35],"tags":[22,37,36],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1613"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1690"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1613"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1613\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8611,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1613\/revisions\/8611"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/cds-faculty\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
