Salon '25
In 2025, our annual Salon event welcomed students, faculty, staff, alumni, community members, and data science professionals to explore the real-world impact of data science across sectors.
Under the theme of "The Evolving Landscape of Data Science,” the event featured hands-on workshops, a poster session, a resource and career expo, and a networking reception designed to connect attendees with peers, mentors, and collaborators. The event included a keynote address titled “Our Journey from AI to AGI” and concluded with a panel discussion on our theme.
