Upcoming HSLS Classes and Events

Love Data Week is an annual time for libraries to showcase, discuss, and celebrate working with data.

To tie in with the Pitt 2023 Year of Emotional Well-Being, many of the Love Data Week presentations emphasize healthy learning and professional development. These sessions will help you learn to avoid getting hung up on producing the perfect code or plot, instead focusing on starting where you are and working with the tools available to you.
