Subject: Ghani Talk at McCormick, Noon on Thurs Feb 7

There’s a talk that faculty and graduate students in the political science department might be interested in attending, but I’m not sure it’s been advertised heavily in Weinberg.

Rayid Ghani, Chief Scientist for Obama’s campaign, will be giving a talk entitled “The Role of Data, Technology, and Analytics in Presidential Elections” as part of the Master of Science in Analytics seminar series run out of McCormick. The talk is this Thurs, Feb 7 at noon in the ITW classroom of the Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center.

Here’s a link to the news writeup where I learned about the talk:
