COTS 2002
Information for Students
Students are strongly encouraged to attend COTS 2002. Attending the conference is a good opportunity for students, especially advanced graduate students, to meet faculty, industrial representatives, and other statistics students around the state. All students enjoy reduced conference costs.
Graduate Student Support
COTS provides financial support for those Graduate Students whose Departments are unable to support their travel expenses to attend COTS 2002. Please contact Diane Brown (dbrown@stat.rice.edu) for more information and to apply for financial assistance.
Student Poster Session
This year COTS will hold a Student Poster Session on Friday,
April 6. (We will not be holding an oral student session as in previous years.)
The Poster Session will give students an opportunity to present their work
to not only students, but also faculty and industry representatives that may
attend the conference. Although the topic need not follow the conference theme
of biostatistics, posters should be concerned with research work;
class projects may be accpetable if they bear on new findings. Direct your
questions to Rudy Guerra. If you are interested in presenting a poster please
communicate with Rudy Guerra(rguerra@rice.edu) with the following information:

This year the San Antonio Chapter of the American Statistical Association
is sponsoring a careers program in conjunction with the conference. We plan
to have recruiters or other representatives from industry, academia, and government
to talk with our statistics graduate students about career opportunities.
We plan to sponsor Career Program Tables as part of the Saturday conference
session, where students and representatives can meet and engage in open discussion.
Interested students, recruiters, and representatives should contact Mike Anderson
for more information.
