It’s all about our students! See how the Day of Giving supports student success.
How is Technology Services involved? Technology Services has been involved in the Day of Giving for the last three years. This year we have created two giving categories that directly support student internships and digital transformation efforts. We are hoping to raise seed money to move these efforts forward in the coming year.
- Digital Transformation Hub — Physical Space The Digital Transformation Hub will provide a physical space on campus for students to utilize emerging technology to create real solutions for everyday life. The DX Hub will expose students to local businesses, valley growers, and cutting-edge commercial opportunities to improve services and provide ideas that support the innovative use of technology in the workplace.
- Digital Transformation — Student Internships Your gift provides internships for Fresno State students interested in exploring with emerging technology at the Digital Transformation Hub (DX Hub). Each student intern will be given the opportunity to work on lT projects in an interdisciplinary, group-style setting utilizing cutting-edge technology to solve real-life issues.
