Hackathon Experience: A Journey of Learning and Winning First Place! This semester, my team and I participated in the Cyber-Security Competition organized by the ISOM Department! It was an intense but exhilarating process of brainstorming, cracking into passwords, and hacking into different systems. It was also a pleasure working behind the scenes on the creation of graphics and advertising for the competition! But beyond the win, this hackathon taught me so much: ? The value of stepping outside my comfort zone and experimenting with new tools and technologies. ? The importance of effective communication and time management under pressure. ? That success is as much about the process as it is about the result. I’m immensely grateful to my incredible teammates who made this experience so rewarding. Thank you to Yurong "Chrisy" Yao and Yuanxiang John LI for creating and hosting this event and the ISBA Club | Information Systems & Business Analytics Club | Suffolk University for their involvement during the hackathon competition.?

?? An Inspiring Day with Suffolk ISBA Club!?? Last week, we had the incredible chance to attend Data Science Day 2024 at Babson College! Hearing from industry leaders like Professor Tom Davenport and experts from Pfizer, Boston Globe Media, Menger Analytics and many more was eye-opening. They shared not only their insights but also the why behind their work—whether in healthcare, journalism, or entrepreneurship—leaving us truly inspired. It was also amazing to connect with talented peers from UConn, Harvard, and University of Rhode Island and see the impactful projects they’re working on. This wasn’t just a field trip; it was a spark for what’s next. If you’re looking for exclusive, hands-on learning opportunities, stay engaged with ISBA Club. More experiences like this await! #SuffolkISBA #FutureLeaders #Innovation #DatainHealthcare #DataJournalism #DataEntrepreneurship
