This time, he's going to share how he's prepped to be a data analyst, going from financial data to student, faculty, and research data, and for his journey with Tableau.

March Maskness! Tips & Tricks

Rebecca Carr (Southeast Community College), David Liška (SMU), James Emery (Georgia Tech)

Wrap-up and Chat

We'll close out the meeting with info about our next HETUG meeting, and then open up breakout rooms to chat! (Chat may extend past 4:30pm Eastern.)

This month, we'll have a special breakout room for an unofficial Tableau Conference: Know Before You Go. If you're going to TC this year or have gone in the past, we'd love to have you stick around and chat about what you're looking forward to and how to make the most of your time at TC.
