皇冠体育 announces new CRST Data Intelligence Lab
CRST捐赠125万美元
皇冠体育 is pleased to announce a transformational gift made possible by the philanthropic foresight of CRST运输解决方案公司。 CRST owner and board member Dyan Smith is a member of Mount Mercy's Board of Trustees.
The $1.25 million gift will support the growth of Mount Mercy's 计算机科学 and 数据科学 programs through the new, state-of-the-art CRST Data Intelligence Lab, student scholarships, a faculty position and related programming.
"CRST’s vision and commitment to Mount Mercy will impact our students—and the greater Cedar Rapids community—for decades to come," said 托德·a·奥尔森博士, Mount Mercy's president. “我们非常感谢他们的慷慨。”
该实验室位于Mount Mercy's Basile Hall的顶层，设有虚拟现实区、机器人设备、3D打印机、协作空间和其他新技术。
CRST的首席信息官Jerry Kilgore说：“CRST致力于加强锡达拉皮兹地区的技术劳动力。” "We’re proud to support Mount Mercy in their effort to attract, educate and graduate students who are prepared and ready to tackle the complex problems of the modern business environment. 我们相信他们可以成为我们社区技术人才的重要来源。”
从2023年秋季开始，CRST还将为芒特梅西大学计算机科学和数据科学专业的学生提供带薪实习机会，作为可续期奖学金的补充。
Mount Mercy今年早些时候开设了数据科学专业，重点是数学基础、算法、道德、编程和沟通技巧。 计算机科学专业的学生学习该专业的理论和实践，如何在团队中完成大型软件项目和适当的道德标准。 Both majors are among the country’s fastest-growing, highest-paid career fields.
Rinderknecht Associates和Solum Lang Architects与Mount Mercy合作翻新了实验室，并于10月20日举行了盛大的开幕式。
