Data Science Masters
#ShutDownSTEM
On June 10, the MSDS program will be joining #ShutDownSTEM. We plan to educate ourselves and discuss actions we can take to help eradicate anti-Black racism in academia and in data science.
Please join us. We encourage you to read the following resources and reflect on how to listen, learn, and use your power and privilege to promote the just application of data science and heal racial inequity wherever you see it.
