Department of Statistics 2003 Alumni Workshop
Friday April 4, 2003
Alumni, Friends of the Department, and
Prospective Students Welcome to Attend!
Do you remember that point in graduate school when you wondered how you would choose a research topic or what a career in statistics offered? Help current students answer such questions with a presentation! We are interested in the statistical issues you face as a statistician, and your research into new applications. These talks should be geared toward a master's student level and emphasize methodology and applications.
If you are interested in such a presentation, please let us know by Friday, March 1, 2003. You may email us at Alumni Workshop Committee. We will also be collecting abstracts during the month of March to compile a proceedings.
Our department has been growing and we now have undergraduate students, Masters of Applied Statistics students, as well as MA/MS and PhD students. This year we are inviting our current students to display their research in a poster presentation. With assistance from alumni contributions, we will be able to offer a cash prize to the top poster(s). We are asking for (small) donations that can be summed to create such a prize. Posters will be judged by alumni Friday and the prize announced at the Friday evening reception.
