Nutanix and the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics have established the Nutanix Endowed Professorship in Computer Science, funded by a one-time corporate grant of $250,000 from Nutanix, with the endowment expected to be matched by state dollars in late 2026. The professorship will support NCSSM initiatives in teacher training and open-source educational resources, aiming to bridge the rural digital divide in computer science access. Charles Robinson has been appointed as the endowed professor and will teach six NCSSM Connect courses beginning in fall 2026, delivering honors-level computer science instruction to remote high school students across the state. The initiative builds on a decade-long partnership in which NCSSM has relied on the Nutanix Cloud Platform for its server infrastructure.
Nutanix IncNutanix funds a professorship to expand computer science education, potentially increasing adoption of its cloud platform in education.
