Statistics in the Community is a student-run volunteer organization which was founded in 2001 at Purdue University. With support from the American Statistical Association (ASA), a network of Statistics in the Community programs was started in 2006. Now in 2014 are proud to introduce the University of Minnesota chapter. Our mission is to provide free statistical consulting to local non-profit, gove
rnmental, and community service organizations, by engaging students in voluntary, service-oriented statistical consulting and leadership. Our vision is to apply statistical methods and principles to have a positive impact on communities and the institutions who serve them. We are working to increase communication and collaboration among student statisticians and provide outreach to increase understanding and acceptance of statistics in our community. Statistics in the community is composed of volunteer graduate students who are looking to use their skills in a real world setting. When you come to statcom you will work with a team of Masters and Ph.D. students who are mentored by professors from school of statistics and department of bio-statistics at University of Minnesota.
