Fred Hulting reviews the aim of StatImpact and how we’re raising the visibility of the power of statistics.

With the big celebrations of the ASA’s 175th anniversary behind us, it’s only natural to ponder what the 25 years leading up to the association’s bicentennial will hold for statistical science. To get a glimpse of that future, we asked a group of ASA members and others in statistics to peer into their crystal balls and offer a projection.

Several volunteer superstars of the ASA tell us how and why they got involved.

Mingxiu Hu of Takeda Pharmaceuticals encourages ASA members to contribute to the association.

Members of the 175th Anniversary Steering Committee share several of the activities planned for the anniversary celebration.

The theme of the ASA’s 175th anniversary is “Celebrate Our Past, Energize Our Future.” One does not need to look far into our association’s past to find a rich history of accomplishments. In addition to celebrating our past, the 175th anniversary planning has been focused on the future of the ASA to do our best to lay the foundation for the bicentennial celebrations and beyond.

The ASA, celebrating its terquasquicentennial, has been in existence for at least parts of three centuries. Not surprisingly, its communication methods today are markedly different and infinitely timelier than those employed by the organization’s founders in 1839.

Similar to the ASA, the broad objective of a chapter is to promote statistics and its applications. Here, Alex Hanlon and James Cochran explain the purpose of the ASA’s chapters and how you can participate in them.

The release in 2012 and widespread adoption in most states of the Common Core State Standard for Mathematics have dramatically increased the amount of statistical content and expectations for teaching statistics in grades 6–12.

As the ASA turns 175 years old, we as an association are taking the opportunity to “celebrate our past and energize our future.”
