DIVERSITY WORKSHOP AND MENTORING PROGRAM
JULY 28, 2019 - JULY 31, 2019
The 2019 Diversity Workshop and Mentorship Program (DWMP) is celebrating 10 years of mentoring, networking, leadership and skills development, community growth, and ensuring a diverse profession. Please join us this year as DWMP brings historically-underrepresented undergraduates, graduates, post-docs, and early career professionals together with more senior statisticians in academia, government, and the private sector in a structured program at the 2019 Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) at the Colorado Convention Center.
The program will include information sessions, small group discussions and one-on-one meetings of mentor/mentee pairs during the conference.
