They are returning to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the start of their U of S graduate programs (September 1986) and to help us all celebrate the 100th anniversary of the U of S Alumni Association.

As part of these celebrations, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics is hosting a Statistics and Probability Alumni Networking (SPAN) Day on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2016. The distinguished visitors and their former graduate supervisors will give research talks and there will be an opportunity for current students and faculty to interact with the visitors. The day will end with a panel discussion on the theme “How to turn your degree from a small graduate program into a big success.”

Everyone is welcome to attend!
