Autism Awareness Month
Throughout the month, we focus on sharing stories and providing opportunities to increase understanding and acceptance of people with autism and fostering worldwide support. This year, we are committed to acting fearlessly for change. To help create a world in which autistic individuals are fully supported, championed and celebrated, we must all work together to achieve true acceptance.

CGU Club Spotlight
Machine Learning Club
The Machine Learning Club at Claremont Graduate University is an inclusive community where students can freely celebrate and participate in machine learning, from current methods to potential future applications. Founded by Rylie Weaver, the club welcomes enthusiasts from all levels of expertise to explore the world of machine learning together. Recognizing the significant impact this technology holds for the future, the club is committed to making the exploration of machine learning valuable and accessible to CGU students of all levels, from technical experts to interested beginners.
The club’s key goal is to unite students through engaging technical challenges. To this end, the club is thrilled to announce the 1st annual CGU Datathon. The Datathon is a data science competition where participants will have the chance to develop and refine machine learning models as well as compete to achieve the best predictions on a testing dataset. This competition not only serves as a platform for showcasing talent but also as a beacon for collaboration and learning within the field.
The Machine Learning Club encourages all interested students to join the club and the upcoming Datathon April 27-28th. The Machine Learning Club looks forward to bringing more technical knowledge and curiosity to CGU one algorithm, and one line of code at a time.
