It's been another amazing year for the data community, and at Maven Analytics we are once again thinking about how lucky we are to get to work with such an impressive group of students.

The team is grateful for everything you do for Maven and the broader data community.

This time of year, we have a tradition of showing our appreciation by honoring a group of community standouts, and inducting them into the Maven Analytics Hall of Fame.

The prize we award is a big one, and the honorees are inducted into a very exclusive club.

Think of this as getting your number retired or your jersey hoisted into the rafters. Except this is Maven, so it's more like retiring your spreadsheet, dashboard, or SQL editor :)

The students honored each year represent the qualities that we most value in our students and in the broader data community:

1) Maven Hall of Famers are committed to lifelong learning

2) They actively participate in Maven discussions and the broader data community

3) They consistently support and encourage others around them

4) They bring a positive energy to their learning and their work

In short, these are the people that make being a part of Maven such an enjoyable experience for both instructors and the entire student community.

After reading this, you're likely thinking of a few names that fit the profile.

We're hoping that you do :)

From now through Friday, December 12th at 11:59 pm Eastern, we'll be taking nominations for the Class of 2025.
