Looking to elevate your organization, and bring it to the next level? Bring on students from the College of Wooster to be your student-consultants, in a project-based experience. Students will work on one main project over the course of the semester, connecting with you as needed with virtual communication tools.


Students in this program/course will delve into the fundamentals of information visualization and refine their abilities to communicate data independently and collaboratively. They will utilize Tableau software to create static and interactive data visualizations, and dashboards using data from various sources. The course will cover effective storytelling, visualization analysis, data ethics, and reproducibility.
