Applications are being accepted for the JSM Diversity Mentoring Program, one of the initiatives of the American Statistical Association’s Committee on Minorities in Statistics.
The program is designed to promote the statistics profession among under-represented minority populations in the US (African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American). Graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and early-career professionals are brought together with senior-level statisticians/biostatisticians and faculty in academia, government, and the private sector in a structured program during the 2018 Joint Statistical Meetings.
This multi-day program (Sunday, July 29, through Wednesday, August 1) provides career information, mentoring, and networking activities. Program activities include small-group discussions and one-on-one meetings between mentor-mentee pairs.
Visit the committee website for the mentee application. Preference will be given to applications received by May 31, 2018. For more information, contact Dionne Swift.
