Sept. 7, 2021 - The Plot-a-Thon Planning Committee would like to announce the Plot-a-thon Faculty Fellow program. Faculty Fellows help form potential student teams to participate in the event and are a crucial part of the Plot-a-thon Data Visualization Festival which will happen on Febr. 25 and 26, 2022; moreover, they help increase the awareness of the Data Visualization Festival on campus. No experience in data visualization is needed for eligibility.
Faculty fellows will be expected to:
- Guide students through the Plot-a-Thon Canvas
- Check on progress and ensure that team(s) register for the Plot-a-Thon in the Spring
- Attend the Plot-a-Thon on February 25 and 26, 2022
- Work with their student teams to explore data visualization techniques/software and practice how to apply them with real-world datasets
- Meet three times a semester with a cohort of Faculty Fellows
- Discuss their progress and data visualization tools and trends with an intent to elevate data visualization interest at CI
- Fellows will be compensated with $500
To apply, please complete an application by Friday, Oct. 1.
