Tableau Users Group

Overview

The Tableau Users Group (TUG) at Saint Joseph's University is a student-run organization that teaches students data visualization skills and encourages them to join Makeover Monday, a data visualization challenge.

We are one of the first major groups featured in the analytics Makeover world and have been featured in books, blogs, and won several data visualization challenges.

Our group has speakers at various times during the school year. During these meetings, Saint Joseph's alumni from a variety of corporations may drop in and walk visitors through a basic Tableau dashboard creation.  To be included on when the next speaker is coming – please reach out to kcampbel@sju.edu. 

Learn Tableau One-on-One

If you're interested in learning Tableau in a one-on-one setting, we have support available every Monday of the semester (when school is in session and not on break) from 10:30 AM to 9 PM in the Analytics Lab (Mandeville 203) and also available virtually via Zoom.

You can either choose to bring your own data set or use one that we'll provide through the Makeover Monday, Workout Wednesday, or Viz for Social Good challenge website. We can also provide trial access to Tableau if you don't have access already. You can also get assistance for other tools such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Python, Alteryx, Excel and Power BI.

This lab is open to all students, including those in the College of Arts and Sciences and School of Health Professions. Meetings are also available to faculty, staff and alumni.
