📊Introduction to R and RStudio: Installation, Setup, and Basics

This meetup marks the first official activity of the R User Group - Nueva Vizcaya State University (RNVSU) under the R Consortium R User Group (RUG) Grant. The activity formally launches RNVSU as a collaborative academic community committed to advancing the use of R for teaching, research, and extension.

The session brings together faculty members from Nueva Vizcaya State University (Bayombong and Bambang Campuses), Philippine Science High School – Cagayan Valley Campus, and Nueva Vizcaya General Comprehensive High School. This session is designed to help participants get started with R and RStudio and build a strong foundation for upcoming RNVSU workshops, trainings, and collaborative learning activities.

In addition to the technical session, the meetup includes an RNVSU orientation, inspirational messages from the university president, and an open forum to promote professional networking, collaboration, and sustained engagement in future RNVSU initiatives.
