Registration for the Electronic Undergraduate Statistics Research Conference (eUSR) is now open!  This free conference will take place on Friday, November 2nd and is open to all undergraduate students and faculty.   This is a great opportunity for students at all stages of their undergraduate career to learn more about undergraduate statistics research.  

We have a great program in store.  Hilary Parker of StitchFix will give a keynote address entitled “Cultivating Creativity in Data Work.”  Plenary talks will be given by the winners of the Undergraduate Statistics Project Competition.  And, we hope your students will share their statistics research by creating video presentations for the virtual presentation session!  There is also a great slate of sessions on industry careers and graduate school.

Abstract submission for video presentations is open, support for video creation will be provided, and students can see example presentations by watching last year’s videos.  New this year we will be giving out a prize for the BEST video presentation!

We hope you will consider setting up a ‘satellite viewing’ location at your own institution.  You can do so by reserving a classroom that is equipped with a projector and audio support, promoting the event on-campus, and possibly offering snacks.  

Thanks so much to our generous sponsors: the American Statistical Association, the Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education, the ASA Section on Statistical Education, Google, and RStudio.  

If you have any questions about eUSR, send an email to mcconville@reed.edu.  We hope to see you there!

Best regards, the eUSR Co-Chairs,
