Data Science Ambassadors

Do you have needs or questions related to data science? Find the Data Science Ambassador (DSA) in your college!

The DSA in your college is a resource who can help researchers and educators by:

  • Addressing questions related to data science related questions through consults, training, and/or referrals to the right resource and experts on-campus or online
  • Developing training or other data literacy programs that are specific to needs to you and your discipline/college.

In short, the DSA is a champion for data science literacy in your college!

Who is the DSA in my college?
The 2025-2026 DSA in each college is listed below. To contact a DSA, please send an email to datascience@arizona.edu.

My college does not have an ambassador yet. How can the DSA program help?
Please contact the DSA program directors if your college or department would like to get involved. Contact: datascience@arizona.edu.

We also have a list of prior Data Science Ambassadors.
