Mission Statement

To build high impact programs around the multidisciplinary research endeavors of the CMDITR, and to equip a diverse population of students with the motivational, technical, and professional tools it needs to lead the IT communities of tomorrow in industry, academia, and the public sector. The CMDITR program will :

1. Train a diverse population of students in the science and engineering (S&E) career pipeline
2. Contribute to innovative teaching and learning by developing new educational materials based on interdisciplinary CMDITR research
