Mission

The SAS’s mission is to provide resources to our community, researchers, staff and students, to expand the breadth and impact of traditional research, teaching and workflow methods.  We do this using data and analysis to explore and understand the role, and impact, place and the environment has in your research and teaching.   The SAS strives to spark innovative research, empower collaborative solutions, and have a lasting impact on our community.
