Graduate School Information Session on Oct. 20th, 2011

This was the annual event mainly designed for students who have been thinking about going to graduate schools in statistics or want to know more about general application processes. We honorly invited two PhD students (Kirk Li and Roddy Theobald) and one faculty representative (Professor Marina Meila) who was an admission committee member for some years to share experiences with us and give suggestions to students.

Annual Career Night II on May 2nd, 2011

The Annual Career Night was the largest event for our SPA. On May 2nd 2011, The Annual Career Night was held in Odegaard Room 220 with free food. Seven professionals from widely different fields (actuarial work, biostatistics, consulting/business, etc.) were invited as panelists. They were prepared to answer any questions that students may have about their potential future in Statistics. About 40 undergraduate and graduate students attended this event and talked to those professionals after their speech. It was a fantastic chance for them to practice their networking skills and to collect information for their future.

What do we do?

SPA holds one major event each quarter. Before events, members are assigned duties. During the event preparation, members often make friends with each other and get close to Statistics professionals. Of course, the goal of each event is to help students find the path of their future education or career. Thus far, we have already successfully held Graduate Information Session and Annual Career Night.
