The Statistics Colloquium Series is sponsored by the
Department of Applied and Engineering Statistics,
the Center for Computational Statistics,
the School of Computational Sciences and particularly by
the Data Sciences Program at George Mason University.
This seminar series can be used to satisfy one of the requirements in the PhD program in
Computational Statistics
in the School of Computational Sciences.
Students may also learn about employment or intern opportunities from speakers in informal discussions before or after the presentations.
The colloquia are open to all.
Colloquia are generally held on Fridays at 10:45 am
Coffee and refreshments are served at 10:30 in the same room as the colloquia.
Directions to the Fairfax Campus and a
campus map are available.
For Spring of 2006, most seminars are held in Innovation Hall, Room 136
If driving, visitors should use the visitor's parking area in the Parking Deck (near the middle of the map). Signs on campus point the way to the Parking Deck. Visitors using Metro can take a bus from the Vienna Metro Station.
Seminars are canceled whenever classes at GMU are canceled for snow or other reasons. Announcements of cancellations are made in local media, as well as at the main GMU webpage.
