CAMPUS UPDATES
2024-25 NEW ACADEMIC SCHOOL
The UC Regents recently approved the creation of the new School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences (SCIDS) at UC San Diego. SCIDS will bring together more than 50 faculty to teach across 16 disciplines. Serving an estimated 8,000 students, the school will play a key role in advancing data science across all disciplines, as well as advancing state-of-the-art computing applications. Rajesh Gupta, the current director of UC San Diego’s Halicioğlu Data Science Institute (HDSI), will serve as interim dean of SCIDS.
A GROWING CAMPUS Several transformational campus projects are expected to be completed in fall 2024. The Theatre District Living and Learning Neighborhood will be the home base for Eighth College students. The 11.8acre site will feature five residential buildings, adding 2,000 new beds for undergraduate students. Pepper Canyon West Living and Learning Neighborhood will also be completed this fall, providing 1,300 single-occupancy rooms for transfer and upper-division students.
