The ASA is proud to announce the first annual Midwest Undergraduate Data Analytics Competition (
www.MUDAC.org) to be held on April 21-22, 2012. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics at Winona State University is hosting this event.
The Midwest Undergraduate Data Analytics Competition will bring together teams of undergraduate students from the upper Midwest to solve an analytics problem for Fastenal, a global leader in the distribution of industrial and construction supplies. Teams will act as consultants for Fastenal and all teams will share their recommendations with representatives from the company. Cash prizes will be awarded to teams that provided the best solutions.
The registration process (see www.MUDAC.org/registration) should be completed by a faculty advisor or mentor. The registration deadline is Tuesday, April 10, 2012. We strongly encourage faculty advisors or mentors to attend this competition as they will be able to provide some guidance to their students and will serve as judges for the competition. We expect this event to be a great learning experience for students, and we hope to have lots of fun as we bring students, faculty, and mentors together for an intense 24 hours!
