The 2019 JSM Diversity Workshop and Mentoring Program will be held July 28–31, during the Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) in Denver, Colorado.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the program, which brings together historically under-represented minority (African/African-American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native American) statisticians and data scientists at early to mid-career levels (i.e., graduate, postdoctoral scholars, and professionals) with senior-level statisticians and data scientists from academia, government, and the private sector for a structured, interactive program of career skills development, networking, and one-to-one mentoring.
