Session Description:
The Math Alliance has a goal of increasing the number of doctoral degrees earned by groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the statistical and mathematical sciences, and does so through a strong mentorship model. Alliance Scholars who have earned PhDs in the statistical and mathematical sciences have transitioned into exciting careers across all sectors. This session will highlight the paths that some of the Alliance Scholars have followed, the work of some recent graduates, and will provide insight into the mentoring process that encourages success for Alliance Scholars. Because of the strong emphasis on increasing diversity in statistics and data science, this session will be of great interest to a wide variety of participants, including: faculty interested in mentoring minoritized students, students from groups traditionally under-represented in statistics and data science, and students who are interested in learning about a variety of career paths.
