Learn IT#3 – The Analytics challenge + AIS

As you know, this year’s Analytics Challenge has kicked into high gear. The challenges are announced, and the 10/28 deadline will be here before you know it. Many excellent workshops that have been scheduled to help equip students for the challenge.

Here are *all* the workshops: http://ibit.temple.edu/analytics/workshop-schedule/

Please note that two of those workshops are being hosted/arranged by the AIS student organization.

· Data Visualization Using Microsoft Excel on Friday 10/14
· Making Sense of Data Using PowerBI on Friday 10/21

I am highlighting these two workshops in particular because #1 they promise to be excellent and #2 they are a great opportunity for students to not yet AIS members to get some exposure to the organization (and every MIS major should seriously consider joining AIS!)

Please make some time in your schedule for these workshops. They will run from 12:00 noon to 1:00pm, but I suggest you plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early in order to get a good seat in Alter LL33.
