Scholars attend monthly luncheons to discuss research progress and challenges, present at the Annual Lucy Symposium, and design community-building events for graduate students across the University that are responsive to pressing topics at the intersection of data science and society.
Additionally, Lucy Graduate Scholars receive $3,000 (either as a stipend top-up or towards professional development activities) for each year that they participate in the program.
