ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Academic Data Science Alliance (ADSA) launched in 2019 to support networks of academic communities to thoughtfully integrate data science into university research and training.

We work with many institution types: R1s, R2s, Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs), liberal arts colleges, and 2 year community colleges. We strive to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment to promote diversity in the field of data science as a whole, and within our member community. Our commitment to DEI starts with explicitly stating our values in our Mission, Vision, Values statement.
