The DSI Summer Lab and Data Science for Social Impact Research Symposium represents the culmination of eight weeks’ worth of student research and hard work. This event is a wonderful opportunity to learn about our students’ exciting summer research projects. The event will include themed sessions where students will present their research projects, followed by live Q&A moderated by their peers. At the end of the event, we will host a poster session and reception. A light breakfast and lunch will be provided.

Talks will take place in John Crerar Library Room 390. Contact mrlong@uchicago.edu for questions or accessibility concerns.
