Data Operations Program

The Data Operations Program offers undergraduate and graduate students hands-on experience in supporting operational and strategic initiatives and data-driven programming at CAIDS. Through diverse roles, student leaders contribute to special projects that use data applications, public engagement, and institutional planning. This program helps students develop organizational leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and technical skills through participation in community events, content creation, and data infrastructure work. Students in the program play a vital role in shaping how data is managed, analyzed, communicated, and accessed at CAIDS.
