The Story of a Data Evangelist

Opportunity is Found in Chaos

Amidst the perpetual strife and intermittent friction of two schools in SD

A nationally high-ranking research institute, where prestige and tenure positions are continually coveted. Even at the expense of an undergraduate educational focus, or so it may feel at times
The ever ambitious and underdog rival, eager to find certain human resource talents from its more established neighbors, yet seemingly reserving most of the credit alone

and caught in-between, one young boy found love in Data Science

all is fair...

Seeds of Change

How long will convoluted bureaucracy and policy keep undergraduate students from learning a worthy Data Science education they deserve?
Why didn't one of the first Datathons even take place in the city's acclaimed flagship research university - a place where some students would loyally call homebase, or more affectionately their very own alma mater?
Where exactly can knowledge-thirsty students seek their rightful undergraduate Data Science program?

QUESTIONS DEMAND AN ANSWER

Curiously enough, it lies in you

Yes, You

The power of Data Science is in your hands. It has been said "The worst decision is indecision," so stop hesitating, relying on the proverbial system to supply you with your healthy desire, curiosity, and passion for data. From this day on you are in command, front-and-center, of your respective Data Science education

Data Science Student Society at UCSD

A History We're Proud of, and the Community that Binds Us

The Society's foundation started up from a question: What does it mean to be a Data Scientist? While there has always existed an interest in this field among UCSD students, a few brave souls dared to investigate deeper

Now, with the advent of 3 never-before offered Data Science courses across a trifecta of renown departments - Cognitive Science, Mathematics, Computer Science - and one unifying student organization numbering at nearly ONE THOUSAND general members strong that has already successfully claimed 5 competitions

within the unbelievable timespan of merely a single year alone, the Data Science community at UCSD is unleashing the monolithic might of analytics and actionable insights to secure its position as a top institution and leader in Data Analysis at a global scale

Teamwork: the Data Scientific Spirit of the 21st Century

The ever-knowing wisdom as spoken by the very words of the Data Scientist's co-coiner himself, one of UCSD's greatest and finest alumni who has been heard across our nation under God
