Please make your students aware of this free conference and encourage
them to participate!
*Student presenters:* If you know students who’ve done statistics
research/class projects, please make them aware of this great
opportunity to present a virtual poster at a national undergraduate
conference focused on statistics!
*Student participants:* If you have students considering careers in
statistics, working on research projects with you now or in a statistics
course with you now, encourage them to participate in the conference and
see great student presentations, keynote talks and much more!
*What will the conference include?* The conference will include plenary
talks by winners of a national student project competition (USPROC) in
statistics, two keynote talks by well-known statisticians, a
professional development panel, grad information session and poster session.
*Interested in presenting a virtual poster?* Please submit your poster

CAUSE is seeking pre-proposals from groups interested in co-hosting a regional conference or workshop that builds the local statistics education community and integrates with eCOTS and its theme of "Changing with Technology" (happening the week of May 16-20, 2016). Regional conferences can have a variety of formats (single day or multi-day; multi-day occurring at a single location or at changing locations; etc...). Facilities should be able to provide a means for connecting participants to eCOTS at relevant times. CAUSE will provide some funding and help with logistics for each regional conference. Please contact Dennis Pearl (dkp13(a)psu.edu) before October 1 to discuss initial plans and possibilities. Final proposals of no more than one page will be due at the end of October.
