The College announced its first faculty cluster Wednesday, created from a $10 million gift given by William Neukom ’64. The cluster, which will focus on analyzing data sets across academic disciplines, will bring three professors to the College who use these strategies in their work.
Five million dollars from the College’s $100 million gift, announced April 10,will boost Neukom’s donation.
Neukom's earlier donations created the Neukom Institute for Computational Science. Neukom, the founder and CEO of the World Justice Project, was Microsoft Corporation’s lead lawyer for 24 years before retiring in 2002. He served as the chair of the College’s Board of Trustees from 2004-07.
