In partnership with the Faculty Senate, the Data Science Visions Working Group seeks to gather input from faculty colleagues through a series of town hall-style conversations.

The Data Science Visions Working Group’s aim is to help ensure that the university is positioned for continued success in the areas of “big data” and “data science.” By engaging the Vanderbilt community, the working group will be better equipped to identify key thematic areas and educational programs to advance and identify opportunities for alignment and coordination across campus for greater impact.

The town hall meetings are scheduled for the following times and locations:

Thursday, Jan. 18, 4 p.m.
Engineering and Science Building, Room 040

Friday, Jan. 19, noon
Wyatt Center, Room 050-3

Thursday, Feb. 8, noon
Sarratt Student Center, Room 325/327

Friday, Feb. 9, noon
Medical Center East, Room 8380-A

All faculty are invited to attend. For questions or more information, contact Andreas Berlind or Debbie Hayes.
