Professional Development Opportunities
Webinar Series with American Military University
VACCINE and American Military University have collaborated to present a bi-monthly webinar series. The webinars are in coordination with the framework of The National Conversation on Homeland Security Technology that was created by the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T). Each webinar will focus on a specific structured dialogue topic related to homeland security technology in an effort to get people talking about problems, challenges, and solutions to keep our country safe.
MSI Faculty Workshops
VACCINE fosters an education program to expand the teaching of visual analytics at Minority Serving Institutions (MSI). The program focuses on preparing MSI faculty to incorporate visual analytics courses into their programs. Learning topics and activities in the workshops focus on: understanding the theory and foundation of visual analytics, integrating visual analytics into course curriculum, developing learning communities for interdisciplinary courses, hands-on instructor-supported tutorials on extracting various forms of big data, and a unique group-designed application learning assignment. Workshop participants should be faculty members at a Minority Serving Institution with some experience or interest in Visual Analytics. If you are interested in hosting an MSI faculty workshop, please email us at vaccine@purdue.edu.
