Chapter Events

The Iowa chapter wants to share some exciting news with you! The chapter executive board is working on a 2nd annual student-focused event to be hosted at Grinnell College on Friday, April 11, 2025 (save it on your calendar)! The event will feature talks, a student poster competition, the annual ASA Iowa Chapter business meeting, and a panel or talk by industry professionals. Posters from undergraduate and graduate students studying statistics, analytics, data science, or an adjacent field are invited, and the competition will feature cash awards.

The event is being organized locally and supported by Grinnell College’s Department of Statistics. The University of Iowa's Department of Biostatistics is supporting student awards. 

We are still looking for additional industry professionals to participate in the event. If you are interested or can recommend someone we can contact, please email Tyler George at tgeorge@cornellcollege.edu.
