The 2020 JSM Diversity Mentoring Program will be held during the Joint Statistical Meetings, taking place August 1–6 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This program, provided by the ASA’s Committee on Minorities in Statistics, brings together historically underrepresented minority (e.g., African/African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Native American) statisticians and data scientists at early- to mid-career levels with senior-level statisticians and data scientists from academia, government, and the private sector. The program features one-on-one mentoring and professional development such as engaging small-group discussions and networking.

Interested students and professionals are encouraged to apply on or before May 31. Limited student travel funding support is available. Full consideration for travel funding will be given to applications received by May 31. Applications received after May 31 will be considered as space allows.
