Free on-campus Workshops on managing/analyzing data

The Center for Social Science Computation and Research (CSSCR) is an interdepartmental computer center in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington. CSSCR provides facilities and consulting support for computing activity related to teaching and research at the University. The UW School of Social Work pays a portion of the support for this service, so MSW students are able to take these workshops as well as receiving consulting services.
