Graduate Student Senate (GSS) is comprised of graduate students, for graduate students.

The Graduate Student Senate is the primary representative, administrative, and service organization for graduate students at the University of Iowa and the senators of GSS are the core of the graduate student voice on campus. The Graduate Student Senate also functions as a conduit for information between the Graduate College and the general graduate student population.

Involvement in GSS is a great way to connect with students across campus, connect with leaders in the Graduate College, and make your voices heard. Senators attend monthly general assembly meetings and work with committees to host events for graduate students. Want to get involved? Email us at grad-senate@uiowa.edu

Intro to Data Visualization in Stata with Olive Kuester

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 1:30pm to 3:30pm
Virtual
This virtual workshop introduces participants to the basics of creating clear and effective data visualizations in Stata. Through demonstrations, example code, and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to prepare data for visualization, create and customize common figures (including bar graphs, scatterplots, and other commonly used visualizations), and communicate findings through well-designed figures. The workshop will use Stata to demonstrate visualization techniques, but the principles for choosing, preparing, and effectively presenting visualizations are applicable across other statistical programs. This workshop is intended for students, researchers, and anyone who works with data and wants to improve their ability to present results visually. Basic familiarity with Stata is encouraged, but not required.
