2011 Corporate Responsibility Report - JPMorgan Chase

universities participating in the
Immersion Experience.
− In 2011, we helped SU develop the new
Global Enterprise Technology Certificate
of Advanced Study, a graduate level
course, set to launch in 2012.
JPMorgan Chase hired more than 20
SU and UD graduates who participated in
these programs, demonstrating the value of
the GET experience. We will continue to hire
more graduates as the university programs
evolve and additional students participate.
In addition to the curriculum, we have
built on-site technology centers at each
campus where full-time JPMorgan Chase
employees work year-round, and SU
and UD students have on-campus job
opportunities. The tech centers bring
together university faculty, students and
our employees who are able to work sideby-side
on joint applied research projects,
giving students ongoing access to our
technologists for training and mentoring.
− In 2011, there were 75 interns
working part-time for JPMorgan
Chase through the school year
at the Syracuse Tech Center.
− The Innovation Center at University of
Delaware, launched in October 2011, has
had 20 interns working part-time for
JPMorgan Chase since it opened.
Matching University Students to Nonprofits at UD
In 2011, JPMorgan Chase created a
program at the University of Delaware that
provides real world project experiences
for technology students on nonprofit
technology projects. With our oversight
and funding, students design, develop and
implement database systems, websites
or applications, and conduct technical
research, analysis and recommendations for
nonprofits. In one project, a student team in
management information systems designed a
teen-focused website for the National Eating
Disorders Association. This work contributed
to the University of Delaware receiving the
President’s Higher Education Community
Service Honor Roll with Distinction in March
2012 for the third year in a row.
“This collaboration
with JPMorgan Chase
is important for two
reasons: Delaware needs
a workforce well qualified
for today’s complex
technology jobs, and
students need the
skills to enter those jobs
ready to succeed.”
Patrick Harker, President,
University of Delaware
Philanthropic Deal of the Day on Groupon. In the U.S., teachers spend an average of $40 each month out of their
own pockets to buy basic supplies for their classrooms. In 2011, we committed to give $40 for every $10 donation
made to DonorsChoose.org through Groupon during a unique online giving opportunity. This program continued our
support of education initiatives that enhance science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) curricula. In
total, we donated $500,000 to help purchase essential classroom supplies for more than 6,200 STEM and broader
education-related projects that benefited over 395,000 students nationally.
