This summer, the University of Kentucky Dr. Bing Zhang Department of Statistics will host its first Statistical Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) workshop for students and their faculty mentors.
This all expense-paid program will take place June 3-5 at General Butler State Park in Carrollton, Kentucky. The event will offer a real data analytics workshop and information on careers and graduate school opportunities in the areas of data science, analytics and statistics/biostatistics.
The event, Storytelling for Change, was sponsored by a grant from the Student Center Challenge Grant, Office of Institutional Diversity, and Office of Community Engagement-all provided support to SOC 435 which organized the event.
SOC 435 has been a year-long course/internship. Students are paid a small stipend and earn course credit at the same time with the thought being that many students cannot afford to participate in internships off campus. In SOC 435, an internship is a part of students' daily lives on campus.
