UC Loves UC Data

Have you ever wondered: How many incoming UC freshman are California residents? How many students are majoring in mechanical engineering at UC San Diego? How many patients are served by UC’s six medical centers? What country does UC publish more research than annually? These questions, and many others, are answerable – if you know where to find the data! In this workshop, we'll learn how to find and access raw data and aggregate statistics, using UC-specific questions as examples. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of where to locate UC data, levels of data availability, common data privacy considerations, and how UC librarians can help you get data! This presentation was part of the UC Love Data Week 2026 program (https://uc-love-data-week.github.io/).
