Abstract:
|
The Section on Statistics and the Environment (ENVR) Board is pleased to announce a graduate student mentoring opportunity. ENVR will host a roundtable Mentoring Session at JSM 2018. The mentoring session is designed to encourage diverse participation and engage students who may not normally have access to or interaction with more senior, advanced-career members of the ENVR community. ENVR Mentors have experience across academics, industry, and government. The ENVR mentoring session will provide an opportunity for an informal "meet and greet" between ENVR mentors and mentees, as well as organized mentor/mentee activities. Activities include a small group face-to-face time, a discussion of career opportunities, as well as general advice about being a junior ENVR researcher. The ENVR Mentors include Peter Craigmile, The Ohio State University; Elizabeth Mannshardt, Environmental Protection Agency and North Carolina State University; and Erin Schliep, University of Missouri. Student application information can be found on the ENVR section website: http://community.amstat.org/envr/events/mentoring
