As part of Graduate Student Appreciation Week at Northwestern University, Northwestern IT Research Computing and Data Services is hosting a panel of data science and statistics professionals to discuss careers both within and beyond academia.
The panel will give graduate students a fresh outlook on what data science looks like in real‑world environments, including the skills most useful in practice and how their research experience translates outside the university.
By hearing directly from people working in government and industry, students gain a perspective they often don’t encounter in their day‑to‑day academic work and a clearer picture of the broader landscape of data needs, challenges, and opportunities.
An informal networking session will follow the panel. No registration is required.
