Meet the new Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society

CDSS

The Berkeley data science division, which was launched in July 2019, has just announced its new name: the Division of Computing, Data Science, and Society.  The name reflects the division’s broad, cross-disciplinary approach to education, and encompasses the School of Information, BIDS, the Data Science Education Program, and the Data Science Commons, as well as involvement with the departments of Statistics and EECS.  The announcement follows the arrival of the new Associate Provost for the Division, Jennifer Chayes, who took the reins in January.
