R-Ladies East Lansing: 2018, Year in Review

Thanks to everyone who attended, participated or sponsored R-Ladies East Lansing in 2018! We had a fantastic start & a very successful first 6mo on campus! We hosted 7 meetups since July 2018 including two very well-attended workshops (70+ attendees) and a DataViz challenge! Help us continue spreading the R & Data Science spirit across MSU in 2019! Contact us about co-hosting or sponsoring a meetup/workshop in Spring 2019.
