CSU receives 90K to help expand students’ DE&I knowledge

Wilberforce — Central State University John W. Garland College of Science, Engineering, Technology, and Agriculture (JWGCESTA) has received $90,000 in funding giving minority students the ability to impact technology development through diversity, equity, and inclusion in partnership with The Ohio State University Translational Data Analytics Institute (TDAI).

Students participating in the Public Interest Tech University Network (PIT-UN) grant program will improve their appreciation of problem-solving skills in combination with science to address public health issues. Through the TDAI partnership, Central State students will help bridge a gap with minorities in the workforce by understanding data science, analytical methods, and techniques.

PIT-UN grand program awarded 18 universities a share of $2.3 million, including Case Western Reserve and Cleveland State University in Ohio.
