Stats on Stat Classes: 2023 Fall Courses Panel
GUSH will be hosting a student-run panel discussing Fall 2023 statistics course offerings on Wednesday, August 23 at 7-8pm EDT -- this is meant to help students of all years & levels of interest in statistics get a genuine idea of what course offerings are like from other students (and hopefully reduce the stress of shopping week)!
We hope to have one breakout room for each of the fall courses offered, with at least one current TF or student who has recently taken the class. Some breakout rooms may have multiple classes. Students will be free to move around breakout rooms and as questions as desired.
RSVP at bit.ly/GUSHFall23 to receive the Zoom link!

Intro to R Workshop
Join GUSH on for an introductory R workshop — no prior experience required!
The workshop will cover fundamental and widely-applicable skills such as using the R console, script editor, writing functions, looping, simulations, and plotting. This will equip you with the fundamental knowledge and a strong foundation to prepare for spring courses with an R component (such as Stat 111, Stat 104, Stat 102, Gov 50, Ec 20, Psych 1900, etc.) — or just learn the basics of R for fun! This workshop will be especially helpful for students taking Stat 111.
Matt DiSorbo '17 will be teaching the workshop. Matt is a recent statistics alum who was an outstanding statistics concentrator and teaching fellow. Matt also has many years of experience using R in industry through his time at BlackRock, and he is currently a doctoral student at Harvard Business School.
Hope to see you all there!
