Enhance your data analysis skills with our session on basic data visualization using Python. This workshop will guide you through creating compelling visualizations to make sense of your data. You'll learn how to generate simple plots using Pandas and customize them with Matplotlib's Pyplot library. We'll explore how to create different types of visualizations, including boxplots, histograms, and scatterplots. Additionally, the session will cover data visualization in various fields, providing you with the versatility to apply these skills in different contexts. By the end of this session, you'll have the confidence to turn data into insightful visuals that can inform decision-making.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to create a variety of data visualizations using the powerful ggplot package in R. By the end of the session, you will be able to produce scatter plots, boxplots, and barplots, set universal plot settings, and apply faceting to efficiently display data subsets. Additionally, you will explore how to modify plot aesthetics, such as axis labels and colors, and build complex, customized plots from data in a data frame. This workshop is ideal for beginners looking to enhance their data visualization skills in R.

International Education: External Funding for Graduate Students

Interested in learning more about external funding opportunities for graduate students to study or conduct research outside of their home country? Attend this special International Education Week event, which will involve three different sessions, tailored to specific audiences and purposes: Funding for Study and Research Abroad, Funding for Students Studying in the United States, and a panel of TXST External Funding Recipients. Registrants may sign up for any or all sessions.

Funding for Study and Research Abroad
10:00 – 10:30 a.m.
This session will provide a brief overview of some of the external funding opportunities available to help graduate students study foreign languages, teach English, and conduct research abroad. Although most of these opportunities are limited to U.S. citizens, we will also share strategies used by international students to pursue funded activities outside of the United States.

Funding for Students Studying in the United States
10:30 – 11:00 a.m.

This session will provide information about the approaches and tools used by international students to find external funding opportunities for which they are eligible. During this session, attendees will discover how to customize their funding searches, as well as learn about TXST international students who have received external awards.

Panel of TXST External Funding Recipients
11:00 – 11:30 a.m.
This event will conclude with a panel discussion about the successful strategies that TXST awardees have deployed in their own planning, searching, and application processes. Join us to hear from these external funding recipients about their experiences and advice in seeking international education!

• Understand which funding sources align with your business stage and goals
• Prepare what you need before seeking funding (documents, pitch decks, projections)
• Weigh the pros and cons of each option—so you can make informed decisions
• Build relationships with potential funders and communicate your vision effectively
