SAS Powered Educators
A unique opportunity for collaboration and professional growth for Educators
The number of academics using and teaching SAS has grown steadily over time. More than 3,000 academic institutions now use SAS in their teaching and research activities. It has become clear that SAS Academics are keen to come together as a community, to share ideas and experience, and learn from their peers.
The SAS Powered Educators Community enables academics to engage and collaborate with their peers, to explore how fellow universities utilise and teach with SAS, and to share ideas. For us, it is an opportunity to help ensure you stay up-to-date with the latest trends, technologies, and methodologies in analytics.
