The 2024 Diversity Workshop and Mentoring Program will be held during the Joint Statistical Meetings August 3–8 in Portland, Oregon. This program brings together historically underrepresented minority statisticians and data scientists at early to mid-career levels (i.e., graduate students, post-doctoral scholars, and working professionals) with senior-level statisticians and data scientists from academia, government, and the private sector. The program features one-on-one mentoring and professional development opportunities such as engaging in small group discussions and networking.
Last year, the program took place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, with 80 participants, including speakers. To participate in this year’s program, fill out the application by May 31. Those selected will be notified in June.
Limited student travel funding is available. To receive full consideration, applicants must apply by May 31. Applications received after the deadline will be considered as space allows.
This program is an ongoing initiative of the American Statistical Association through its Committee on Minorities in Statistics. Contact Emily Butler for information about sponsoring the Diversity Workshop and Mentoring Program or other committee initiatives.
