This year, we decided to go back to where it began and hold ASA Giving Day in conjunction with the fall board of directors meeting. By the end of Giving Day, 146 donors gave nearly $56,000.

The six GivesBack members recently held a panel discussion in which they talked about ways their jobs are engaged in giving back to public health, society, and drug development.

ASA GivesBack is a group of early-career professionals invested in promoting philanthropy and volunteerism by organizing activities and events that give back to the community. The group’s focus this year has been on encouraging students to engage with statistics and data science via participation in science fairs and friendly data competitions.
