Abstract:
|
The Statistical Consulting Center (SCC) at Grand Valley State University services faculty, students, and non-profit organizations. The Center employs undergraduate and graduate students each semester under the supervision of the Director. The SCC provides statistics students with an opportunity to gain real life experience with statistical consulting. I have been working in the Consulting Center for the past year. My work in the Center started as an undergraduate statistics major in April of 2008. I proceeded to do an internship in the SCC during my final undergraduate semester in the fall of 2008. Currently, I am a biostatistics master's student at GVSU and have continued working in the SCC. This presentation will describe my experiences including responsibilities, skills utilized, and knowledge gained.
