Angel Alcantara
On March 31 and April 2, Jim Jozefowicz hosted IUP economics alumna Angel Alcantara ’23 in his Advanced Econometrics course. An instructor in the IUP Department of School Psychology, Special Education, and Sociology, Alcantara taught the students Tableau, a data visualization tool, using tutorials published in the Journal of Economic Education (Batt et al., 2020).
After guiding the students through several applications of Tableau, Alcantara provided the students with an opportunity to experiment in Tableau using World Indicators data while she circulated through the classroom offering advice and answering questions.
The Department of Finance and Economics appreciates Alcantara’s willingness to share her expertise with current IUP students. Alcantara will graduate from IUP with an MS in Applied Mathematics in May 2025.
