The academic board that drives this unique teaching portal is composed of leading practitioners and renowned academics recruited from around the world, united by their dedication to sharing innovative, proactive applications of authentic technology for data-driven decisions.

The goal is to train students to be breakthrough thinkers and doers who use data to create business value.

Mastering the challenges of tomorrow's dynamic business and IT environments will require a combination of technical expertise and practical, hands-on training — and that's exactly what students experience at Teradata University Network (TUN).

TUN gives students a taste of corporate reality. Via the companion Teradata Student Network web site, professors design assignments using databases with millions of records — all without the issue of scale. TUN also provides students with resources that would normally be prohibitively expensive for a university to develop and maintain.

TUN gives members of the academic board a voice to speak out on today's teaching requirements:
