Call for nominations for new Mu Sigma Rho award for junior faculty
This award is given in recognition of a faculty member who has made significant contributions to the success of undergraduate students in Statistics. Recipients will be early in their career; they will not yet be tenured, and they might not be in a tenure-track position.
George McCabe's mentoring of early-career faculty and impacts in statistical education are the inspirations for this award. Throughout his 50 years at Purdue, George was active in mentoring both faculty and students and was pivotal in the growth and success of Purdue University's Statistical Consulting Service. His accessible books on the "Practice of Statistics" (co-authored with David Moore et al.) have been used by countless students, for more than 30 years. George dedicated a great deal of time to the success of Mu Sigma Rho, including serving as President during 2011-2013.
Each nomination should include: (1) a cover letter, (2) the nominee's curriculum vitae, (3) a summary of the nominee's teaching and educational activities, (4) a draft of a citation briefly describing the nominee's accomplishments, and (5) three letters supporting the nomination. At least one letter should come from a colleague of the nominee. If a nominee is not selected for the award, the nomination will remain active for two years after the initial submission, unless the institution chooses to put forward another nominee.
Nominations should be sent to Charlie Smith at bmasmith@ncsu.edu by Monday, February 1, 2021. Please include all nomination material in a single PDF document.
