Pretty Big Data: Data visualization mechanisms for scholarship and marketing

Speaker(s):

Ellen Richardson, Sarah Ryan, Jordan Jefferson

Arrest rates across the U.S. The impact of declining endowment funds on discretionary spending. The proportion of students taking legal research courses. What do these topics have in common? They're best communicated visually. In this program we will navigate various data visualization tools (from pie charts to infographics to GIS Mapping) and explain how to match tools to your type of data and audience. This program will feature live demonstrations and provide best practices for visual numerical display.
