Media
While many capstone projects have made substantial and long-lasting contributions on their sponsoring organization, many of those contributions never become public. Here, we note a few of the more public contributions.
99P Labs project
- Capstone students wrote a blog post based on their experience “Navigating Telematics Data”
ProPublica project
- Capstone students were acknowledged for their contributions to Sophie Chou and Brenda Medina’s article “Despite Audit, Doctors With Checkered Records Can Still Decide Fate of Green Card Seekers” for ProPublica.
“Smith College Statistical and Data Science capstone students provided additional research.”
So proud of the work that @SmithCollegeSDS students did in helping to collect data for this @propublica story. Thanks for working with us @ryanngro @mpetitchou! Despite Audit, Doctors With Checkered Records Can Still Decide Fate of Green Card Seekers https://t.co/JJoaHiiozs
