Please join the ASA Committee on Career Development (ASA CCD) for several events this summer!
First, the ASA CCD is hosting a free, virtual workshop on Thursday, July 28th from 6 - 7:30pm ET titled “How to Get the Most Out of Conferences and JSM.” This virtual workshop will provide tips for attending JSM and other upcoming conferences. Register here for the workshop.
Second, the ASA CCD is hosting an in person professional networking event for students and early career statisticians to practice networking in a friendly environment. The event will be held in person on Sunday, August 7th from 2 - 4 PM ET in room # CC-145A at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center during the annual Joint Statistical Meetings (JSM) in Washington, D.C.
During this professional networking event, attendees will listen to remarks from three featured speakers before practicing networking skills in a friendly, relaxed environment. To attend this professional networking event, please note that you must be registered for JSM 2022.
Featured speakers for the professional networking event include:
- Montserrat Fuentes, President, St. Edward’s University
- David Morganstein, Former Vice President, Westat, Inc.
- Dionne Price, President-Elect, American Stat. Association
The ASA CCD needs mid to late career professionals from all areas (academia, industry, and government) to attend this event as volunteers, providing students and early career statisticians opportunities to practice networking. The more volunteers the better, so students and early career professionals have several people to practice with as they "rotate" through the crowd. Register to volunteer for the professional networking event during JSM 2022 using the following link: https://forms.gle/orpYYXHMN5YvpM9g6
The ASA CCD will also co-sponsor additional events at JSM 2022:
- "JSM First Time Attendees Orientation and Reception" on Sunday, August 7th at 12:30pm. Click here for session information.
Please note that ASA CCD events are free and open to all, but events held at JSM require JSM registration to attend. For ASA CCD events, ASA membership is not required, but we hope that CCD events encourage you to join the ASA. Join the “Friends of CCD” email list to hear about upcoming CCD events and opportunities. We also welcome ideas from the community as to what you may wish to see next with CCD.
