Communities of Practice
rugB
The R Users Group at Bucknell, rugB (pronounced “rugby”), brings together members of the Bucknell Community to discuss all things data and R-related. All (students, faculty, staff, alums) are welcome and no prior R experience is required! Sign up below to be invited to attend our monthly meetings and added to the rugB channel of the bucknell-data-science Slack Workspace.
Meetings:
October 23rd, 2024 from 12:00 – 12:50pm
Taylor Hall, 208
R Tutorials on git/GitHub and R Packages: Ken Field will introduce the group to the version control tool git and will show how to sync an RStudio Project with a GitHub Repository. Then, Kelly McConville will demo the process of creating an R package. Lunch will be provided.
September 25th, 2024 from 12:00 – 12:50pm
Traditional Reading Room, Bertrand Library
R Hacks: Participants will each spend a minute showcasing their favorite R tool or tip (e.g., function, keyboard shortcut, color palette, package, resource,…). Sharing a hack is optional. Lunch will be provided so make sure to fill out the sign-up form so that we order enough food.
Co-facilitators: Kelly McConville and Todd Suomela

A call for proposals for additional communities of practice coming later in fall 2024.
