CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 4, 2000 via NewsEdge Corporation -

Recognizing the need to equip the decision makers of tomorrow with the data mining skills they need to succeed, SPSS Inc. (Nasdaq:SPSS) today launched its new Corporate Donation Campaign. The campaign brings together corporations and universities to ensure that essential data mining and analytical tools and training are available to today's business students.

Corporations can participate in the campaign as Gold, Silver or Bronze donors, depending on the size of their gift. Donations will be used to provide local colleges or universities with licenses for Clementine, SPSS' data mining workbench, which is currently included in the curricula of schools such as Loyola University Chicago and California State University, Chico. Licenses will be valid for three years, after which a school can renew at the educational institution rate. The number of licenses will depend on the level of a corporation's participation.
