“San Antonio has an important gap to fill in the workforce buy ativan areas of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Statistics is one of these areas, and the San Antonio Chapter has been working hard to help close this gap,” said David Han, president of the San Antonio Chapter.

The presentations were attended by K–12 students and their families.
