Vice President Application

Hello applicant,



The growth of Data Science at UCSB is always bringing new opportunities, challenges, and changes. As much as I would like to, I cannot run this organization forever... so it is time to pass the torch to a new generation of Gauchos. The Vice President position has been vacant for quite a while, and that needs to change. This position is ideal for hard working and resourceful students that are ready to step outside their comfort zone.



I will still run the weekly operations of the club, and the VP will be in charge of overseeing a few of the more important tasks or events each quarter. (Especially tasks that require coordination across our club's departments.) As such, the position will require a mix of both management prowess and hard work.



The ideal candidate would have some of the following qualities:

- Excellent time-management skills

- ex: Uses a task organizer or a journal to prioritize their time

- Freshman or Sophomore

- The assumption is that you will be the President after I graduate

- Enjoys learning about programming and data science

- ex: Personal programming projects or following online tutorials

- Enjoys public speaking or telling stories

- Sweats the details, plans for things that are most likely to go wrong

- Resourceful

- You will be working on a variety of projects, so thinking on your feet is important

- Majoring in PSTAT, MATH, CS, ECON



The application period is open from February 14th to the 23rd. I will send out invitations to interview on the weekend of the 25th. Interviews will be held between the 25th and March 3rd. Training and orientation for the selected candidate will take place over the remainder of Winter quarter. You will officially begin as Vice President on day 1 of Spring Quarter.



Good luck!



Jason Freeberg
