OSU Faculty and Students to present at 2024 Joint Statistical Meetings
An impressive number of faculty and students from Ohio State will be representing the university as presenters and panelists, as well as session chairs and/or organizers at the 2024 Joint Statistical Meetings. See the full list below.
Please also make plans to join us at the Joint Statistical Meetings in Portland when we co-host — along with the Division of Biostatistics — The Ohio State Statistics and Biostatistics Mixer!
The Mixer will take place at Screen Door (Pearl District location — 1131 NW Couch, Portland, OR 97209) from 7:30–9:30 p.m. PDT on August 4, 2024
Looking forward to seeing alumni, faculty, students and friends at this event!
