Data Science Society is UC Berkeley's first student-run, not-for-profit organization focused on data science and its interdisciplinary applications. Since our founding in 2016, we have united students from a wide range of disciplines behind our shared passion for all things data.We aim to foster a strong data science community on campus by advocating data science education and practice through our various committees and internal and external programs. Our educational and consulting initiatives have impacted hundreds of students in a variety of majors across campus and given them the technical and soft skills needed to thrive in an increasingly data-centric world.For further information please visit us at dssberkeley.com or email us at info@dss.berkeley.edu.
