Investment banking firm JP Morgan Chase announced a $30 million partnership with Syracuse University designed to supply the bank with graduates trained in financial and information technology.

The school's Center for Science and Technology will be the home of the partnership until the center is built, according a report by Syracuse News 10 Now Time-Warner Cable.
