The Michigan Student Symposium for Interdisciplinary Statistical Sciences (MSSISS) returns to an in-person format for its 2022 iteration! The conference, taking place on March 10-11th, 2022, at The League and organized by five UM departments, is a great opportunity for students of any level and any department to share their research related to any aspect of Statistical sciences: theory, methodology, application, etc. The organizers recently opened abstract submissions for oral presentations (regular and speed) and for poster sessions; the submission deadline is on January 31st, 2022. Registration is free and will start mid-February together with session announcements. Along with oral and poster sessions, the event will include two featured talks, one from a high-profile invited speaker and one from a junior Michigan faculty. The organizing committee is also partnering with the Michigan Data Science Team in creating a Data challenge, starting mid-January, to invite students who may not have research to present in participating to MSSISS 2022.
