This Zicklin undergraduate saw us filming a #WhyZicklin video on the Clivner=Field Plaza recently and spontaneously decided to answer the question himself: “Why’d I want to come to Zicklin? . . . I’m kind of a math guy, so I looked into Zicklin and I saw that they had a good data science program, and data science is very big right now. The bang for the buck is unbelievable, and we’re in the best city in the world.”
