Music City Center 

Role models influence our behaviors, attitudes, and values, and inspire us to strive for excellence and integrity. Mentoring also plays a crucial role in personal and professional development, providing guidance and support to help mentees navigate challenges and seize opportunities. Professor Ralph D'Agostino was an incredible role model and mentor to many graduate students at Boston University. Here we will remember his many contributions to the field of statistics, his teaching, advising, mentoring, his impactful work in clinical trials, work with the Framingham heart Study, and so much more. Professor D'Agostino instilled in his students a responsibility to adhere to ethical professional practices, and always focused on the practical, real-world implications of our collective work. We will share our experiences and reflect on his approach to mentoring as a model for the field.
