Data Is Driving Social Change: A Faculty Lecture Featuring Dean Phil Bourne

We are now a data-driven society, and the expanded footprint of artificial intelligence in society is emerging as a Promethean moment. How is the School of Data Science at the University of Virginia responding to rapid technological developments as it pursues its mission of educating students, conducting cutting-edge research, and serving the community? In this talk, you will also learn about UVA’s state-of-the-art new School of Data Science building, which held its grand opening in spring 2024. Join Philip Bourne, founding dean of the School of Data Science, for this engaging conversation. Attendees to this lecture can join in person at the School of Data Science or virtually with captions. Immediately following the lecture, registrants will have the opportunity to attend an optional guided tour of the School of Data Science building. 

This lecture is part of the "More Than the Score" faculty lecture series, a partnership between the Lifetime Learning in UVA's Office of Engagement and the University's Alumni Association, where, on the mornings of home football games, some of UVA's top minds share their insights.
