Dear All,
The Section on Physical and Engineering Science (SPES) excited to announce the relaunch of the Marquardt Memorial Industrial Speakers Program, a SPES initiative originally established in 1998 to strengthen connections between industrial statisticians and academic programs.
The program brings experienced industry professionals to university campuses to share real-world insights, give talks, and engage with students and faculty. These visits help students learn about career paths in industry-often a lesser-known option-while fostering valuable academic-industry exchange.
Key highlights:
-
SPES reimburses up to $1,000 in travel expenses for host institutions.
-
Speakers typically give 1–2 talks and meet with students and faculty.
