R&A Office Hours

We're kickstarting and modifying our Office Hours program for the fall semester.

Up to four times per month, members of our Research & Analytics team will be available ‘in person’ (via BlueJeans for now), ready to discuss all things research with our Wharton faculty, doctoral, and staff researchers.

Bring your questions about research technologies, data, and programming … if it’s part of your research, we want to learn about it, and help you accomplish your research goals. We look forward to discussing your research!
