McDevitt Scholars Engaged in High Profile BNY Mellon Big Data Project

On Monday, November 25 in New York City, Tyler Dygert ’15, Joe Miller ’16 and their mentor, Dr. Martha Grabowski, McDevitt Chair in Information Systems, will participate in a ‘Shark Tank’ evaluation of BNY Mellon’s top Big Data projects.  Tyler and Joe are collaborating with BNY Mellon’s Chief Information Officer, Suresh Kumar, and their Chief Data Officer, Dave Gleason on one of the company’s winning Big Data projects.
