The Paul H. Chook Department of Information Systems and Statistics invites you to the second Annual Symposium on Data Analytics. The Symposium will be held on Friday October 12th, 2018 at Baruch College’s Newman Verical Campus Building located at 1 Bernard Baruch Way, New York, NY 10010. You can find the full program schedule here.
Whether you are conducting research in or teaching data analytics related topics, or are simply interested in the area, we hope that you will participate in this symposium. It will be an exciting opportunity to meet with colleagues, hear about exciting new research, or pedagogy, and to share best practices in data analytics across CUNY. This inter-disciplinary symposium is open to the entire academic community of CUNY with the purpose of bringing together those interested in the area of data analytics.
The symposium is intended to be a forum to exchange ideas and encourage collaboration with the objective of promoting and developing high quality multidisciplinary research at CUNY schools. Many of the presentations and papers in this program are early research and research in progress so we encourage you to provide feedback and engage in the conversation. We look forward to your participation!
