Friends of the School of Data Science 

The School of Data Science is seeking more friends to inspire and prepare a generation of diverse data scientists who can make our world more equitable, informed, and secure. We encourage you to befriend our faculty, researchers and staff so they can boldly fulfill this vision for our diverse students.

As a Friend of the school, you will be a foundational member of the next chapter in UTSA’s history as it expands into the College of Artificial Intelligence, Cyber and Data Science in 2025. There is power in numbers. As we launch this new era, the more Friends the better! 

Join Friends of the School of Data Science and become a game-changer, providing road-running data scientists the opportunity to pursue bold futures.

In appreciation, Friends of the School of Data Science receive special recognition and invitations to our events to hear from world-renowned speakers and network with colleagues and students. Moreover, Friends will be invited to convene with school leadership guiding academic and research programs for the opportunity to inform our engagement with industry and government and to influence school strategies. Friends helping friends.
