Data Ambassador Council
Our Data Ambassador Council (DAC), a diverse cohort of undergraduate and graduate students, is a focal point of student input and engagement at CAIDS. As advocates for data equity, DAC members communicate CAIDS initiatives to the student body at Tulane and act as a student-led focus group that explores data initiatives to ensure that CAIDS data programming supports the needs of Tulane students.
Program Objectives:
- Collects information and provides feedback on the data needs (curriculum, programming, workshops, etc.) of undergraduate and graduate students at Tulane University.
- Works collaboratively as a focus group to brainstorm and solve problems around data programming.
- Produces projects and products to openly share information across campus about CAIDS student programming and curriculum.
Project Types:
Students will discover data skills relating:
- Designing interactive science communication campaigns about data skills for Tulane students using data visualizations, graphic design, videos, and social media content.
- Collect data about data initiatives and data needs on campus by developing and administering surveys and polls and serving as as focus group.
- Sharing information about data courses, initiatives, data themes, and the achievements of the CAIDS community with Tulane students by networking at events, tabling days and presentations, and developing a student newsletter, social media, swag, and posters.
