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 [

creating video presentations for the virtual presentation session! There is also a great
slate of sessions on industry careers and graduate school.

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.
