Students in the Spring 2025 Honors colloquium course, Data Storytelling for Societal Impact, created a guidebook on data storytelling for nonprofit organizations. The guide will be shared widely with the Meredith community.
Anne York, program director and professor of economics, developed this course after reading Storytelling with Data by Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic. By combining data visualization and storytelling, Knaflic aims to present data in digestible and engaging ways.
“I thought this could be a fun class to teach students how to communicate complex information in meaningful ways,” said York. “Viewing the course through a social science lens, I saw a natural application in the nonprofit sector, where organizations must use data effectively to demonstrate their impact to stakeholders.”
