Workshops for the Fall 2026 semester will be posted below. All workshops will take place in the Data & Scientific Reasoning Lab. If you plan to attend any of these workshops, please RSVP using the indicated link.
Introduction to Power BI
- When: Thursday, November 5, 12 pm - 1:15 pm
- Where: Data & Scientific Reasoning Lab, lower level Library (across from the Archives)
- What: Curious about how to turn data into an interactive report? In this hands-on introduction to PowerBI, you’ll use an example dataset to explore data, create charts, and add filters that let you investigate your own questions. You’ll practice choosing visuals that fit the data and how to communicate what you found. No prior Power BI experience is needed.
- RSVP here by Wednesday November 4
- All students who complete the workshop will be eligible for a one-year PowerBI Pro license
