Join us as we celebrate and thank the incredible mentors who helped power this year’s Data Science Clinic projects!
This special reception honors the commitment and guidance of our Clinic Mentors — UChicago faculty, postdocs, and industry professionals — who generously dedicated their time and expertise to support student teams through real-world data science challenges.
About the Clinic:
The Data Science Clinic brings together students and industry to tackle meaningful projects with practical application. Through this course, students can analyze complex datasets, build open-source tools, present actionable insights, and explore careers in data science — all while gaining invaluable mentorship.
Industry partners benefit from fresh perspectives, proof-of-concept experiments, and a firsthand look at rising data science talent. Together, mentors and students form a collaborative ecosystem that turns data into discovery.
Come enjoy drinks, light fare, and good company as we toast the mentors who made this work possible!
