Data Day 2023

The first annual Data Day at the Beach was held on April 22, 2023, at CSU Long Beach! Participants included CSU Long Beach, Long Beach City College, and Long Beach Unified faculty, students (and some family and friends), and administrators.

Attendees had the opportunity to:

  • Attend an informative panel that included industry professionals of color from Apple, Northrop, and NBC Universal, and faculty from CSU.
  • Engage in hands-on data-related interactive activities in the computer lab.
  • Receive a nice "swag bag" of goodies that included a Data Day T-shirt, pen, tote bag, key chain, and a lanyard.
  • Enjoy free parking, morning refreshments and a catered lunch.

We hope you will join us next spring!
