OUR PEOPLE IN ACTION
DO I NEED TO AUDITION TO GET INTO THE CLUB?
No, as our club wants to build an open community where any SMU students can join to learn more about data analytics.
"Analytical skills and knowledge are increasingly important in the working world. BIA provides both the training, and the network (through its friendly community) to really brush up and learn key skills."
- Jo-Adam Saiful Mizra, LKCSB Year 3
"I am passionate in business analytics, data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence and I feel that BIA has this community of like-minded people with useful workshops that would allow me to learn more about such areas and improve myself. Also, I am excited to pursue a career in such fields and find that BIA can help facilitate this process and present me with more opportunities."
