The Business Analytics Network Association (BANA) is a student-led organization focused on supporting students interested in Business Analytics, Data Analytics, Data Science, and data-driven decision-making careers. The club was founded to create a collaborative learning environment where students can enhance technical skills, build professional networks, and prepare for successful careers in analytics and related fields.
BANA provides opportunities for career readiness, skill development, and industry engagement through workshops, guest speaker sessions, networking events, certification guidance, and collaborative student projects. Members can connect with faculty, alumni, and industry professionals while gaining practical exposure beyond the classroom.
The club aims to serve as a professional and academic community for analytics students at CU Denver by encouraging leadership development, peer learning, and industry collaboration. BANA also works with campus partners such as the Business Career Center and LynxConnect to support student success.
Students interested in analytics, technology, consulting, finance analytics, marketing analytics, or data science are encouraged to join.
