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.

Learn more about the Faculty Fellows program at our Informational Lunch on Sept. 22 from 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. in Bliss Courtyard (between Bell Tower and Ojai Hall), sponsored by our partners at HubSpot.
