The Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education (CAUSE) will host eCOTS May 18–22. As always, the conference will be held virtually and include discussions about engaging students in the classroom.
This year’s theme is “Engaging Everyone.” The conference will have two keynotes: “Engaging Everyone: Context, Communication, Connections, and Commitment,” given by Roxy Peck, professor emeritus at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, and “Using Data Effectively: Beyond Art and Science,” given by Hilary Parker, a data scientist at Stitch Fix.
The conference will also include three workshops, 12 breakout sessions, four panel discussions, and posters and beyond to start and end the day. Additionally, the award winners for the Gapminder Dollar Street competition will be announced and present their activities during the conference.
Each day, participants will vote on the hot topic of the day, and discussions with the hot topic items selected will end the week on Friday.
Participants can also attend one of the regional conferences that accompany the main conference. These regional conferences may occur online or in person later.
See the ECOTS website for links to the program and conference registration.
Registration for the full week of virtual programming is $25, or $15 for those from a CAUSE member institution (free for graduate students, high-school teachers, and two-year college instructors).
