[CAUSE] Announcing eUSR and USPROC

Announcing eUSR and USPROC As you think about and finalize your fall semester syllabus, please consider the following two opportunities. The second annual electronic Undergraduate Statistics Research conference will take place on Friday, October 21 , 2016. This free e-conference includes a keynote addresses by Rob Gould, plenary presentations by USPROC student award winners (see below), virtual poster presentations by undergraduate statistics students, and a professional development panel on careers in statistics. Opportunities for your fall class: Set up a satellite viewing location for your students, offer extra credit for students to view/listen to talks, or have former students present a poster in the poster session (sign up link coming in September). Learn more at: www.causeweb.org/usproc/eusrc Also don't forget the Undergraduate Statistics Project Competition for 2016-2017 (USPROC) sponsored by CAUSE and the American Statistical Association. The purpose of USPROC is to encourage the development of data analysis skills, to enhance presentation skills, and to recognize outstanding work by undergraduate statistics students. Separate submission tracks are available for class projects at all levels (Stat 101 through senior capstone). New this year: (1) Two submission deadlines ( December 2016 for summer/fall projects and June 2017 for winter/spring projects) and (2) For class projects, the ability to submit slides (e.g., PowerPoint) or a 3-page paper. Opportunities for your fall class: Require or offer extra credit for all of your students to submit their excellent fall class project.
