We provide opportunities for students, the community, and industry experts to connect and learn outside the classroom and lab. Attend a lecture, join our statistical organization, or use the services of our consulting center.
“Our weekly statistical seminar series is particularly beneficial to graduate students and faculty, and it attracts people from other departments at the university and the Washington, D.C., area.”
