MY ASA STORY Liz Stuart Professor and Associate Dean

摘要

I first joined the ASA in 1999, when I entered graduate school. One of my first interactions was winning the Gertrude Cox Award in 2000, which gave me a boost of confidence and facilitated attending my first JSM (Indianapolis). I shared a hotel room with three fellow graduate students and had my introduction to the wonderful ASA community; I felt like I was being welcomed into the world of statistics. I have attended nearly every JSM since to learn about new methods and applications and connect with old friends and colleagues. As someone who now straddles several fields, going to JSM feels like going back to my roots.
