A Transformative Gift

College of Engineering alumnus Raj Nooyi ('78 MS, Industrial Engineering) and his wife, Indra, have made a $5 million gift to help position UTA at the forefront of the growing health informatics field. The gift will fuel research excellence in the University's newly renamed Center for Innovation in Health Informatics by expanding research collaborations among the colleges of Nursing and Health Innovation, Engineering, and Science through increased support for faculty research awards and by instituting two professorships to recruit faculty members engaged in disease modeling and surveillance.

"Indra and I are honored to contribute to the advancement of health informatics and are confident that our commitment will serve as a catalyst to enabling an even brighter future for UTA," says Raj Nooyi. "We firmly believe in the power of education and innovation to enhance lives and are proud to help the University lead the way in this emerging discipline." ₪
