How to Become a Partner

Gonzalez Learning Lab

The Gonzalez Learning Lab (GLL) provides the necessary space to support the application of analytical methods to real-world problems. Greg and Karen Gonzalez provided a donation in support of the new lab. Inspired by the CADS mission, GLL equips the center with an innovative workspace to foster team collaboration and online resources to develop and refine programming and analytical skills. 

Why a Gonzalez Learning Lab

  • Miami University believes that integrating professional development with the academic rigor of a liberal education is critical to developing innovative problem-solvers. Grounded in this philosophy, GLL teaches modern analytical skills and provides hands-on applications.
  • The GLL is a resource for learners seeking additional knowledge in analytics and data science. To become proficient in analytics and data science, learners must move beyond abstract concepts often presented in a classroom. The Lab provides users the cutting-edge resources to practice and refine their analytics and data science skills.
