Public-use educational data is often used by graduate research methodology programs for demonstrating different analyses. These datasets are also often the basis for manuscripts that answer substantive questions. However, the full extent of the data available to students and researchers is often not utilized. The Pulchritudinous Potential of Public Data will help students understand the breadth, complexity, and availability of the many sources of public-use data. Panelists representing both the institutions responsible for publishing the data and researchers that heavily utilize the data will discuss: (1) how students can utilize the data for their own studies; (2) the importance of using such data; and (3) the challenges that arise when using such data.
