Abstract:	As statisticians, we all appreciate the value of collaboration. We know ours is not a solitary science and both our work and other scientific work are greatly enhanced by collaboration. Additionally, for most of us, we are excited not only by the mathematics we delve into, but also the problemsolving that comes by attacking real problems. Even so, in education we often forget that it is both problemsolving and collaboration that is most likely to entice our students to study statistics. In particular, the mathematical statistics course is often very formulaic with little connection to other types of science. In this talk, I will discuss the importance of collaboration in education, particularly with undergraduates. Also, I will give examples of bringing science and collaboration into traditionally mathematically dominated statistics courses and undergraduate research projects.
