The Human Side of Data: Building a Legacy of Academic Technology and Research Support at Carleton College
|
|
|
Carleton College is a small private liberal arts college in Northfield, Minnesota known for its rigorous academic environment and collaborative spirit. With approximately 2100 students, Carleton has a deep commitment to undergraduate research, and has long navigated the unique challenge of providing high-level technical support within a small-scale setting. CaRCC spoke with Paula Lackie, Academic Technologist for Data at Carleton College, to learn how a 1991 “faculty revolution” paved the way for a human-centered approach to research computing and data that continues to empower students and faculty today.
