Raising up the next generation of statistical thought leaders takes commitment and particip
ation! 

We are here to help! 

The 2018 JSM Diversity Mentorship Program (DMP) brings historically-underrepresented minority (African-American, Hispanic/Latino, Native American) graduate, undergraduate, post-doctoral scholars, and junior professionals together with senior-level statisticians and faculty in academia, government, and the private sector in a structured program at the Joint Statistical Meetings. 

The program will include small group discussions and one-on-one meetings of mentor-protégé pairs during the conference.

More information about this year's agenda will be provided soon.
