Mark Sherman, Ph.D. Director The Interdisciplinary Digital & Data Sciences (IDDS) offerings are a comprehensive approach for academic and co-curricular approaches to digital citizenship, data analytics, and computer science. By partnering with both academic departments as well as campus centers (e.g. Library Learning Commons, Campus Ministry), Emmanuel students have access to the tools, training, and academic foundation that is becoming instrumental to future career success. The mission of IDDS is to bring the power of computing into the liberal arts environment, and empower students to understand, analyze, and affect change in our digitally-managed world.
