Are you stuck on a project where you have to use and analyze data? If you need help getting started using computational tools and methods such as working with data, machine learning, statistical models, visualization techniques or similar, then drop by the campus center every Thursday starting at 12 pm over the lunch period.

The illustrious DataGators will help you get started with your project. When you go to their table, be sure to bring your computer and your idea to start the conversation. Office hours are also available for questions regarding analysis.

Open to all students and faculty. Organized and supported by the Department of Computer and Information Science and the Office of the Associate Provost for Institutional Effectiveness, Strategic Planning, and Assessment.

Professor Dawson is working with the local hospital to research the mental health of children in the community. The goal is to involve local middle and high schoolers in the analysis of this data rather than speaking for them, allowing them to advocate for the changes they would like to see.

MANY OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE TO GET INVOLVED, such as data analysis, classroom engagement, discussion leading, etc.

This is a time-flexible opportunity, please respond to the following form to express interest. Contact earwood01@allegheny.edu with questions!

The Office of Inclusive Excellence is seeking students interested in participating in moderator training as part of the Sustained Dialogue initiative on campus October 4 and 5.

If interested, please contact Anne Butcher at abutcher@allegheny.edu by September 30. Spots are limited to the first five students that reach out.
