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 and solves problems 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 to Data Collection (Surveys), Focus Groups, Data Visualization, Graphic Design, Science Communication, and UX/UI by:
- Designing campaigns around swag, posters, and social media using graphic design.
- Developing and administering surveys and polls on campus about data initiatives,
- Sharing information with Tulane students through event planning, tabling, and presentations,
- Showcasing advocacy work with a poster at the CAIDS Data Zine and Poster Session.
