The Atlanta University Center (AUC) Data Science Initiative facilitates and coordinates data science-focused research, activities, and programs across Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse College, Morehouse School of Medicine, Spelman College, and the AUC Robert W. Woodruff Library.
Since its formation in 2019 through funding from the UnitedHealth, the Initiative has become a recognized initiative for developing and expanding pathways that will contribute to a more diverse data science workforce. Leveraging the AUC’s rich history in social justice, the Initiative aims to increase the number of AUC graduates with skills in data science and develop innovations in data science that promote the ethical use of data to benefit society.
