Proud to officially announce a new multi-year partnership between Saint Joseph's University and NEST® - Integrated Facilities Management, focused on advancing AI and applied analytics education.
We will sponsor the Saint Joseph’s University High School Analytics Competition, featuring 33 teams from 14 schools, and introduce a new NEST AI Award recognizing excellence in AI-driven analysis and insight.
Our leadership team will also work directly with Saint Joseph’s students on a hands-on data-mining project applying AI and machine learning to real-world service provider pricing. They’ll meet weekly, use live industry data, and build models designed to inform real business decisions.
As a proud Saint Joseph's University - Erivan K. Haub School of Business alum and advisory board member, this partnership means a lot.
Facilities management today is powered by transparency, analytics, and technology. By connecting students to real data and real challenges, we’re helping prepare the next generation of leaders for a workforce that demands both critical thinking and applied AI skills.
Looking forward to seeing the top eight high school teams compete on March 11 — and to the insights that will come from this semester’s work.
The Hawk Will Never Die.
