Dean of the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business and Professor of Management Information Systems, Haya Ajjan, received a grant of $102,175 from Cone Health. The funds will support ten Master of Business Analytics (MSBA) students through paid internships, emphasizing the need for inclusion and professional development in healthcare analytics.
This initiative aligns with Cone Health’s mission of community engagement and innovation, while addressing the critical need for diverse perspectives in data-driven decision-making. By providing financial support across two semesters, this program will reduce barriers for students, particularly those from underrepresented backgrounds, offering them invaluable experience in real-world analytics.
MSBA students, equipped with expertise in tools like Python, Tableau, and GenAI, will contribute to key projects at Cone Health, such as predictive modeling, operational optimization and data visualization. These internships not only enhance Cone Health’s capabilities by leveraging cutting-edge analytics but also establish a cost-effective talent pipeline. Supporting this program reflects Cone Health’s commitment to fostering inclusion, empowering future leaders and driving impactful improvements in healthcare operations and patient outcomes.
