Abstract:
|
Formal or informal mentoring has occurred for several years among members of the statistics profession. In 2004--2005, an ASA task force examined mentoring and nurturing statisticians. This session will present examples. Amy Froelich will discuss how graduate assistants develop their teaching skills through an apprenticeship-like process at Iowa State University. Sastry Pantula will discuss the NC State program for junior faculty and NSF VIGRE program for postdocs. Cynthia Clark will discuss programs she implemented at the U.S. Census Bureau and UK Office for National Statistics. Sally Morton will discuss the challenges of constructing and implementing mentoring programs at nonprofit research institutions, drawing on her experience at RTI International and RAND Corporation. Finally, Ron Menton will discuss examples of mentoring programs in the pharmaceutical industry.
