REGIONAL ACTIVITIES IN STATISTICS

The Southern Regional Council on Statistics (SRCOS) Summer Research Conference (SRC) has been successful for 59 years.

This summer conference is particularly valuable for graduate students, providing them with the opportunity to interact closely with internationally-known leaders in the field without the cost of travel to distant venues. This year, undergraduate students will also be recruited to participate in the SRC and learn about graduate degrees in the statistical sciences with a focused effort aimed at groups who are under-represented in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.  

Actual travel costs to attend the conference will vary according to the location of the home university and method of travel. In the last four years, SRCOS has averaged 40 students in attendance.

The mission of SRCOS is to promote the improvement of postsecondary education in statistical science, assist in the development of high quality statistics instruction in elementary and high schools, and promulgate educational activities which improve the quality of statistical practices. SRCOS fulfills this mission by fostering and facilitating cooperation among institutions in its membership region concerned with statistics education.

Specific current examples of SRCOS activities in fulfilling its mission are providing forums for communication on effective approaches to solving common problems with statistical training, sponsoring (joint with ASA) annual summer research conferences, and maintaining an electronic network for sharing statistical information among its members.
