The week of March 8th, the Columbia Data Science Society is hosting an event series entitled Students of Color in Data Science. The goal of this event series is to both increase exposure of data science to students of color at Columbia as well as encourage community-building among students breaking into the field. 

The event series will have three parts: an industry panel on March 11th composed of representatives from NYT Data Science, a student-led panel on March 12th about how to study data science during your time at Columbia, and virtual “Coffee Chats” throughout the week which are 15-30 minute 1-on-1 informal chats, booked by appointment, between professionals and students to facilitate mentorship and sense of community among students of color pursuing data science or a related field.

The panelists and representatives all identify as people of color, but all of the events are open to all participants. The event details are below, and you must register to take part in the 1-on-1 Coffee Chats.
