The JSM Diversity Workshop and Mentoring Program will be held July 31 - August 3, 2016 in Chicago, Illinois. The program brings minority graduate and undergraduate students, 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 annual Joint Statistical Meetings. The Workshop will provide interactive sessions focused on soft skills development for career success for statisticians at all early- to mid-career levels. In addition, a small group of interested attendees will be selected to participate in the mentoring component of the program, which features small group discussions and one-on-one meetings of mentor-protégé pairs during the conference.
