Building a supportive and inclusive community is integral to our students’ success and overall experience in our analytics program. We strive to provide opportunities for our students to connect with their community within our program and the university as a whole.
DSAN Student Mentorship Program
Our built-in student support system provides incoming students with guidance and advice as they move through their first year in our program. Incoming students are matched with a second-year student mentor based on their undergraduate major, common goals, and shared interests.
Mentors are a consistently available resource for you, and can provide guidance on topics such as where to live; what to expect from classes; how and when to start looking for an internship; and any other questions first-year students might have. Mentors and mentees meet for lunch, dinner, coffee, and various activities in Washington, D.C. Mentors are available throughout the year whenever their mentees need guidance.
DSAN Social Committee
The DSAN Social Committee was formed with the belief that student leadership is integral to ensuring that our program’s events are targeted to the evolving needs of our student body. The committee consists of students from both our first and second-year cohorts.
The Social Committee is a force for connection within our community. They create unique ad hoc opportunities for socializing, e.g., cherry blossom picnic, hiking trips, cultural potluck, etc., while also providing support for many of our program-sponsored events.
