R Workshops in September
All sessions will be 9-11 am on Tuesday in the iSpace in the Science-Engineering Library<https://arizona.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=db9ec68208a01ab34170f765f&id=f3fbf0acf1&e=71068ef53d>. To get the most out of these workshops, participants should bring a laptop with R and RStudio installed<https://arizona.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=db9ec68208a01ab34170f765f&id=4833e18c8b&e=71068ef53d>.

  *   September 18: Introduction to Machine Learning in R with caret. During this workshop we’ll work on a classification problem using the caret package in R to learn how to partition and pre-process data, perform algorithm selection, and tune and compare models. Workshop attendees should have a beginner to intermediate-level proficiency with R, and should come with R and RStudio installed, as well as the caret package (and dependencies) installed.
  *   September 25: Open R lab. Bring your R questions or just come in to write some code and enjoy coffee and pastries.
Additional resources:

  *   A tentative schedule of upcoming workshops is also available at: https://jcoliver.github.io/learn-r/schedule<https://arizona.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=db9ec68208a01ab34170f765f&id=0d5a36c859&e=71068ef53d>

Campus Pantry Needs...
UA Campus Pantry is committed to serving UA students, faculty, and staff who are experiencing food insecurity. This year, the Pantry was able to host two distributions per week, and just this week we saw over 380 students in two days! This increased demand means we are running critically low on several items, specifically:
-Cereal (12.25 oz boxes or larger; Cheerios, Rice Crispies, Chex, Bran Flakes)
-Canned meats
-Canned tuna fish
-Boxes of crackers
-Brown and white rice
-Granola bars
-Oatmeal
Interested parties can donate these items at the Student Union Memorial Center’s Information Desk. If anyone prefers to donate money to the Pantry, they can do so at this link:
