The Big Data and Analytics Association has helped me as an aspiring computer scientist and possible data scientist, really realize what my future field is all about. The club hosts information sessions with companies that come and talk to us about what they do, how they do it, and the future of our field.

Before this, my knowledge of what and how I would really do things with a computer science degree was someone limited. I learned computer coding languages and how to build stuff with them on certain programs, but applying that to building products that people would actually use was lost on me. BDAA helped give me a vision for what I can do in the future and I’m glad to say that I am looking forward to it.
