International Love Data Week February 9-13, 2026
TIP OF THE DAY L VE DATAWEEK Where’s the Data? The Buffalo Schools’ Office of Shared Accountability is excited to celebrate Love Data Week by reminding our community of some of the data services we provide. Love Data Week (#LoveData26), celebrated each February around Valentine’s Day, highlights the importance of data in research and everyday life. Each day during the week of February 9, 2026, we will share information related to our data practices. Looking for a quick, fun way to participate? Adopt a dataset! Just choose one from the list of datasets available for adoption (or any dataset in the ICPSR holdings), download it, and start exploring—it’s that easy. Adopting a dataset is kind of like adopting a pet, except less messy. Choose a dataset that interests you, fill out the Adoption Form, and dig into the data. Bring your dataset to life and share what you learn through email, social media, and more. Hint: we have images and templates that make sharing easy. Finish your adoption and download a Certificate of Adoption. You can even be featured on our Wall of Honor. Get ready to feel warm fuzzies and a deep sense of pride. ICPSR’s Adopt a Dataset program is free and open to everyone— students, researchers, nonprofit staff, or anyone curious about data.
