Thank you Donors! Greetings! Welcome to this edition of the Statistical Science newsletter! The 2019-2020 academic year has had many exciting events and will certainly be remembered as an historic year, especially with the Coronavirus pandemic. We had several exciting developments in the Fall semester including the second invited Jon A. Wellner Lecture, the new Statistics Club, and our first celebration of World Statistics Day! The Spring semester has included highlights such as the third Data Science competition and the selection of Brian Dennis as the Distinguished Faculty Award recipient for the College of Science, but things have been overshadowed lately by the Coronavirus situation. We are finishing the Spring semester with all classes moved online, as have many schools and universities. Inside you will find information on our faculty, staff, and students, as well as departmental news. If you are staying at home and have some time, you can read about our latest news and contact us with your updates for our next edition of the newsletter!
Each year the Statistical Science Department receives gifts from its alumni and friends. We are grateful to all who have contributed amounts, both large and small, to the department this year. Your generous donations support and enhance our programs. Interested in supporting the students and faculty of the Statistical Science Department? Donations can be received online or through the mail. If you would like to make a contribution to the department, please see page 8 for more Information!
