Seeking proposals for regional face-to-face events associated with eCOTS

by Taylor, Kati

It is part of the core mission of CAUSE to stimulate the development and ongoing activities of faculty communities with interests in statistics education. Thus, we are happy to renew our program of providing some funding for regional events associated with eCOTS coming up in May. In particular, we will provide up to $50 per person registered for regional face-to-face events tied to eCOTS (typically that provides for a one-day event with lunch and break food and perhaps lodging expense for a speaker). Please email Dennis Pearl at dkp13(a)psu.edu if you are interested in hosting an event. Deadline is Nov. 1st to let us know you are interested and Feb. 15 for a final commitment to host your event. https://www.causeweb.org/cause/ecots/ecots24

The CAUSE Cartoon Caption Contest for August is now taking entries!

by Taylor, Kati

The Consortium for the Advancement of Undergraduate Statistics Education is happy to announce our 87th Cartoon Caption Contest! Each month a cartoon, drawn by British cartoonist John Landers, is posted for you and your students to suggest statistical captions (cartoons are posted at the beginning of the month and submissions are due at the end of the month). The caption contest is offered as a fun way to get your students thinking independently about statistical concepts - a great activity for the start of the new term. The next cartoon and the entry rules for the contest ending August 31 are at https://www.causeweb.org/cause/caption-contest/august/2023/submissions The best submission will be posted on CAUSEweb and the winner(s) will receive their choice of a coffee mug or t-shirt imprinted with the final cartoon or free registration to eCOTS2024. [cid:70e731d1-ed9e-4e6a-92e6-8d93e91361f1] Enjoy. July Results: The July caption contest cartoon is shown here. The judges found the winning caption to be “Good Data Infographics grab everyone's attention!” submitted by Carolyn Showalter from Ocean County College. Carolyn’s caption is a good reminder that graphical presentations are more readily digested by viewers than mere statistical summaries. An honorable mention this month goes to Larry Lesser from University of Texas at El Paso for his caption: “We can all have a flare for statistics!,” that can be used to encourage students who might otherwise be anxious about their statistics studies. Thanks to everyone who submitted a caption and congratulations to our winners!
