Mark Zuckerberg has pledged $50 million to Sacramento State University to fuel state-of-the-art STEM labs and an AI center, reports Fortune. The donation comes after the Meta CEO and his wife Priscilla Chan announced they would shift the majority of the Chan Zuckerberg Institute (CZI) to biomedical AI research late last year. As per the report, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced the $50 million donation made by Facebook-parent will help transform three state buildings on Capitol Mall into mixed-use facilities for California State University, Sacramento faculty and students.
The donation “[opens] doors for students to succeed and for our communities to prosper,” Newsom said.
