GRAD-Future Workshop

June 8-9, 2023

 

 

The NC State Department of Statistics GRAD-Future Workshop is a two-day all-expenses paid workshop for rising juniors and seniors who are interested in learning more about graduate study in Statistics or Data Science and who are committed to working toward social justice, diversity, equity and inclusion.

 

The goal of this workshop is to give undergraduate students an insider's perspective on what graduate school life is like, how to choose a program and prepare yourself for it, and what to expect and what is expected of graduate students in Statistics and related fields. Participants will meet with current graduate students, alumni and faculty to hear their perspectives. The workshop will be especially useful for students from populations typically underrepresented in STEM graduate school programs.

 

Topics:

• Why go to graduate school?
• What types of programs are there and how do they differ?
• How to prepare? What coursework and research experiences are important?
• How to fund graduate studies?
• How to find a good match?

Selection Criteria: Those who meet the following criteria are encouraged to apply.

• Individuals with the ability to contribute in meaningful ways to diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice.
• Rising junior or senior interested in graduate study in Statistics or Data Science 
• Demonstrated potential for acceptance into graduate school

Application deadline: January 15, 2023

Summer Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics Accelerator Opportunity

If you are not graduating this year and are also considering graduate school in the future, you might be interested in this summer opportunity at the University of Chicago. It's a fully-funded summer opportunity intended to help prepare undergraduate students for graduate school in the mathematical sciences. The program will take place at the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation (IMSI), which is located at the University of Chicago.

 

IMSI is a mathematical sciences research institute funded by the National Science Foundation. Their mission is to apply rigorous mathematics and statistics to urgent, complex scientific and societal problems, and to spur transformational change in the mathematical sciences and the mathematical sciences community.

 

The Summer Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics Accelerator (SUMSA) is an eight-week mathematics and statistics bootcamp for undergraduates which will take place June 12-August 4, 2023. The program’s aim is to help prepare students for the rigors of graduate school through lecture series and problem sessions taught by experienced postdocs and advanced graduate students from the University of Chicago.  It will cover core material in linear algebra, advanced calculus, metric spaces, probability, statistical modeling, and data science.  This program is open to students who will be rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors at U.S. colleges and universities and will be at least 18 years old at the time the program begins.

 

Further information and the application are available on the program’s web page.  Applications are due by February 17, 2023.

 

Questions can be emailed to sumsa@imsi.institute.

If you do end up applying for or participating in this program, please advise Dr. Schaffner, Statistics Department Chair.

Thank you!
