The Data Lab
 
 

 

About

At CAIDS, we offer three student programs designed to cultivate data-minded communities on campus through co-curricular activities that make data skills accessible, relevant, applicable, and ethically driven for undergraduate and graduate students. The Data Lab is directed by Dr. Jacquelyne Thoni Howard and managed by Ifeoma Osakwe. 

Student Engagement Objectives:

Through our programs, we engage with students to:  

  1. Build mutually supportive and interdisciplinary data-minded communities.

  2. Apply data equity frameworks to our work as a tenet of data literacy.

  3. Make data literacy skills and work accessible and relevant for all students.

  4. Become users, researchers, makers, and critics of data knowledge.

These paid opportunities help students build a diverse portfolio, gain data literacy skills, and join data communities on campus. We welcome students working with data at all skill levels and accept all majors and fields.
