The University of Southern Mississippi is currently operating as a student hotspot for computing study funded by a base offer.  ,
The Jimmy A. Payne Foundation just awarded a$ 32, 000 give to the Computing Research Hub at Southern Miss as part of a larger offer wave that is also funding 16 other jobs on the Hattiesburg school.  ,
Last year, the Payne Foundation, whose late namesake Jim Payne was a Southern Miss student and substantial boost, made offers totaling$ 502, 689 through the USM Foundation to support 17 jobs across all four academic institutions at the school.  ,
The Computing Research Hub will have access to a number of community-focused, research-focused resources designed to” transform the learning experience of undergraduate and graduate students” in the School of Computing Sciences and Computer Engineering ( CSCE).  ,
” Our goal is to enable students to explore ideas, innovate, and result in the ever-evolving technology landscape”, director of the study hub and School of CSCE professor Dr. Nick Rahimi said. ” Through active mentorship and a collaborative, hands-on research environment, we will equip our students with the skills and experience needed to be ready for life” . ,
Under the direction of university and doctoral coaches, Southern Miss students will have the opportunity to work on high-level research assignments, grant proposals, and magazines. AI, security, machine learning, and emerging technology will take center stage for work done in the gateway.  ,
The hub will even connect students to regular seminars, workshops, and networking events, opening more doors for students that lead to exclusive learning experiences and professional opportunities.  ,
” By transforming our research relationship, we will make our students here at Southern Miss for student studies and business careers”, Dr. Rahimi concluded. The Payne family and the Jimmy A. Payne Foundation are both very generous partners in helping us make our vision a reality, and I’m grateful for that.
