COL Columbia-Lehman Public Interest Technology Data Science Corps (PIT-DSC)

A collaboration between Columbia University and Lehman College proposes to initiate and pilot a Public Interest Technology Data Science Corps (PIT-DSC) summer URE program that offers experiential learning based on projects of public interest in NYC’s underserved communities, in partnership with Town+Gown: NYC (a city-wide university-community partnership program). It allows NYC’s own data science talent to contribute to these important projects, while simultaneously diversifying the data science pipeline.
