August 24th, 2021

MassMutual’s donation is the first partnership for the fledgling academic unit. The money will be spread out over three years, with two primary purposes: to create the MassMutual Professor of the Practice Fund and to launch the MassMutual Fund for the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences, which will aim to hire a program manager and software engineer to support experiential learning activities; organize diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the center; and award approximately six $10,000 MassMutual Externship stipends to undergraduates.
