2020 Mentoring Program

COVID-19 Update
As JSM 2020 will be held as a virtual meeting, DMP will proceed as planned and transition to a virtual program as well. Questions may be sent to emily.lynn.butler@gmail.com.

The 2020 Diversity Mentorship Program (DMP) will marks 11 years of mentoring, networking, leadership and skills development, community growth, and ensuring a diverse profession. Please join us this year as DMP 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 2020 Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM). This year's JSM will be held at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, PA.

2020 Program Agenda
The year's program includes information sessions, small group discussions and one-on-one meetings of mentor/mentee pairs during the conference.
