Our Mission
We are dedicated to leveraging data analysis to create a positive impact in our community. SUDS partners with nonprofits, government agencies, and social impact organizations to help them accelerate their work through data science, analytics, and machine learning.
Our History
Students Using Data for Social Good (SUDS) was founded in 2017 at Carnegie Mellon University with a simple but powerful vision: to connect students passionate about data science with organizations working to make a positive social impact.
What began as a small group of students has grown into a vibrant community of data scientists, analysts, and machine learning enthusiasts committed to using their skills for good.
Over the years, we've partnered with dozens of organizations across various sectors, helping them leverage data to enhance their operations, reach more people, and maximize their impact.
