Dear ASA Community,
It's graduation season and, through This is Statistics, we're asking you to post photos of your graduates - of all degree levels - to social media using the hashtag, #StatsGrad. We started this year and loved seeing the photos and pride. It would of course be great to have faculty in the photos as well. Here's a bit more:
Congratulations, #StatsGrad!

#StatsGrad. #StatsGrad submissions will be shared on the This is Statistics blog, and one lucky graduate will win a $50 Amex gift card!We are also coming up to the last "What's Going on in This Graph" with the New York Times Learning for the academic year.
