Ekimetrics: Black in Data Site Visit

Ekimetrics Presents our first annual “Black in Data” night!

As you may know, data science is a relatively new field with many universities only introducing data science degrees within the last couple of years. With only 4% of data scientists being Black, we aim to diversify the field by increasing awareness and accessibility to data science roles.

This event is an opportunity for students to learn more about the field, hear from industry professionals, network, and win prizes. There will also be a résumé workshop where students are encouraged to bring their CVs and get real-time advice on what recruiters are looking for. Students will hear from Black data professionals that will speak to their career development and perspectives of being in the tech workforce as a Black individual.

Participating Schools:

• Barnard College
• Columbia University
• Fordham University
• New Jersey Institute of Technology
• New York University
• Rutgers University
