Graduate Student Council
Organization Mission
The School of Data Science – Student Council (formerly the Student Organization) aims to plan and establish various events, programs, and meetups for the students that they’re elected to represent. Each of our members is a student from either the Data Science and Business Analytics (DSBA) program or the Health Informatics and Analytics (HIAN) program that chose to dedicate their valuable time to serving the school and peers. At its heart, the organization aims to create opportunities for the students, who come from all walks of life and all over the world, to socialize with each other as well as professionals in hopes of promoting personal and professional development.
