Modeling Your Future: MSDS Alumni Panel

Modeling Your Future is an interactive career series designed to help you explore, prepare for, and launch your career in data science, no matter where you are in your journey. Whether you're mapping out ways to put your skills into practice or preparing for full-time roles, each monthly gathering connects you directly to the people, insights, and skills you'll need to build your professional future.

We're welcoming both MSDS and BSDS students (second- and third-years), so you'll have even more chances to grow your network across cohorts. Each session blends real-world perspectives, industry expertise, hands-on strategies, and personal storytelling, all happening live and in-person at the Capital One Hub.  

Mark your calendar for the below dates, from 12:30-1:30 p.m., and join us for career-changing conversations and lunch provided by your program directors, Brian Wright (BSDS) and Prince Afriyie (MSDS).
