Week 8:

Dear Dr. Chatterjee, Dr. Suess, Dr. Myung, and Dr. Kerr,

I hope this message finds you well.

I’m pleased to invite CSU East Bay students and faculty to the upcoming Women in Data Science (WiDS) Silicon Valley Virtual Conference, taking place over the next two weekends. The event is open to all genders and experience levels, and I believe it will offer valuable insights and inspiration for anyone interested in data science.

I’m especially proud to share that CSUEB alumna Melissa Lu, now a Data Scientist at Walmart, will be presenting on May 18th, 2025. Her 15–20 minute talk, “How I Got Here: A Career Pivot into Data Science and What AI Means for the Future,” will be particularly inspiring for those considering a transition into the data science field.

Please find additional details and the full agenda in the attached materials.

Thank you again for your continued support. I’m also happy to share that I recently began a new role as a Business Intelligence Analyst at a medical group—an opportunity I truly couldn’t have achieved without your guidance and encouragement.

Warm regards, Thuy-Nhi Nguyen Former CSUEB Student
