Building a Discipline, a School, and a Curriculum for Data Science

Dr. Brian Wright will discuss his decade's worth of experience in actively building Data Science initiatives at several different U.S. universities, including helping to establish the first U.S.-based School of Data Science at the University of Virginia. This will include reflections on the origins of the Data Science field as it relates to being represented on U.S. campuses, the current status of Data Science as an academic discipline, and the critical next steps necessary to ensure Data Science continues to evolve and separate itself from correlated disciplines.
