This Thursday: Join the UCOP Tableau User Group for data visualization and more

All UCOP staff are invited to join the next meeting of the UCOP Tableau User Group (UCOP TUG) on Sept. 19 at 3:30 p.m. (PT).

During the first half of our time together, our guest speaker, Senior Institutional Research and Planning Analyst Amit Prayag of Institutional Research and Academic Planning, will present “Discover the power of Tableau maps for advocacy.” This engaging presentation will share how to harness the visual storytelling potential of maps to raise awareness and drive action for literacy. You’ll learn innovative techniques to:

  • Engage audiences with visually compelling data visualizations and maps.
  • Identify strategic opportunities and target resources effectively.
  • Measure the impact of outreach programs and advocate for change.

Whether you’re a data enthusiast or library aficionado, this session will inspire you to harness Tableau maps for meaningful change.

The second half of the agenda will include an interactive presentation from Andrea Belgrade on how to use Tableau to create customizable PDF reports. This session will explore some of the features, possibilities and drawbacks of this method of data reporting while also soliciting feedback from the group to improve the design and functionality of the report.
