Get Involved

Have you conducted undergraduate statistics research?

If so, you can present your own work at the conference. To do so, you will need to make a 5-minute recorded presentation. During the conferences, participants will be able to view your video and post questions. From 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), we ask that presenters be available to answer questions in real time. 

Starting with eUSR 2018, we have now added a competition for Best Video Presentation. All video submissions will be eligible for this prize.  Presentations will be judged based on the presenter's ability to convey the main research question and findings, the originality and significance of the work, the quality of the slides, the organization and flow of the presentation, and their ability to answer questions during the Friday Q&A.

Submit a title and an abstract HERE by Friday, October 20th, 2023. Abstracts will be accepting on a rolling basis. For abstracts that are accepted, videos must be created and uploaded HERE by Tuesday, October 31st, 2023. Read the following below to answer any questions you might have on creating the video presentation.

What should the format be for my presentation?

  • We recommend creating a set of slides and then recording a narration of the slide presentation.
  • In order to upload your presentation to the web, we require that your recordings are in .avi, .mp4 (preferred), or .mov. PowerPoint presentations will not be accepted.

What software should I use to record my presentation?

What if I need help creating the video?

  • Please contact Andrew Ferguson (acf199@psu.edu) if you need assistance.

What should I include in the abstract?

  • The abstract should be a summary of your project and should be around four to seven sentences in length.

How do I participate in other conference activities?

  • Those who submit an abstract will be automatically signed up for the conference. If you want to just attend the conference, make sure to sign-up here.
  • A few days before the conference all participants will receive a link to participate in all conference activities as well as some technical information to ensure the webinar software will work with your computer. On the day of the conference, simply click the link to view presentations, posters, etc. as well as to pose questions (via a chat window) to presenters.
