SUMMARY:Class / Instruction:June 2 - July 30\, 2026 T/TH  Course - Sampling in Practice
DESCRIPTION:June 2-July 30\, 2026\, T/TH\n1:00pm - 3:00pm\nA live course via Zoom. Registration and payment are required a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the course.\n\nFounded in 1948\, the Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques is designed specifically to meet the needs of professionals and graduate students seeking to deepen their expertise in survey methodology and data collection. Offered through the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science within the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan\, the program provides a rigorous and flexible curriculum that blends theoretical foundations with practical application — entirely online.\n\nSampling in Practice\n\nUnlocking the art and science of sampling with an applied\, hands-on approach\, the course Sampling in Practice is designed for applied practitioners who want to master real-world sampling techniques through active learning and practical programming. Students will learn about probability sampling methods\, including simple random sampling\, stratification\, systematic selection\, cluster sampling\, probability proportional to size sampling\, and multistage sampling. We will also cover sampling cost models\, sampling error estimation techniques\, non-sampling errors\, missing data\, and nonprobability samples. The course emphasizes practical implementation\, featuring interactive coding exercises and in-class examples to reinforce each concept. A culminating project will give students the opportunity to integrate multiple techniques into a comprehensive sample design and demonstrate the profession in designing surveys\, selecting subjects\, analyzing sample data\, and solving real sampling problems using modern statistical tools.\n\nWhy take this course? \n\nThe course is crafted for students and practitioners eager: \n\nTo build proficiency in modern sampling techniques through active engagement and practical coding experience\nTo understand the basic ideas\, concepts and principles of probability sampling from an applied perspective\nTo be able to identify and appropriately apply sampling techniques to survey design problems\nTo understand and be able to assess the impact of the sample design on survey estimates\nTo be able to compute the sample size for a variety of sample designs\nTo learn how to design and select a probability sample involving complex sampling techniques in a survey project\, and receive expert feedback on a sampling report. \n\nYajuan Si is a Research Associate Professor in the Michigan Program in Survey and Data Science\, located within in the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. She holds a Ph.D. in statistical science from Duke and received postdoctoral training at Columbia. Yajuan’s research focuses on methodology development\, from data analysis to study design\, in streams of Bayesian statistics\, linking design- and model-based approaches for survey inference\, data integration\, missing data analysis\, confidentiality protection\, and causal inference\, with applications in the social and health sciences.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Sky Tonight
DESCRIPTION:A live presentation on what to find in the sky tonight and for the coming few weeks. This presentation includes how to find the cardinal directions with the North Star\, current and upcoming constellations\, visible planets\, a few deep sky objects depending on the season\, and other interesting astronomical visualizations. If you want to be able to look up from your own backyard and know what to look for\, this is the show for you.

SUMMARY:Tours:Walking Tour: The Origins of the Law Quadrangle
DESCRIPTION:Many associate the architecture of the University of Michigan Law Quadrangle with the Renaissance\, the Ivy League\, or even Hogwarts. While strolling through the Quad\, we’ll discuss the buildings from conception to construction and the Law School’s influence on social issues and legal education.\n\nGuided tour led by student docents. Duration: 1.5 hours\; 0.5 miles.\n\nThis walking tour meets at the corner of S. University Avenue and State Street\, on the outer northwest corner of the Law Quad.\n\nTour will take place in rain or snow\, but will be cancelled for severe weather (notification via email).\n\nRegistration required: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/ev/reg/p8cpkyu

SUMMARY:Tours:Saturday Sampler Tour | Storytelling in the Ancient World
DESCRIPTION:Today\, when we want to tell stories about ourselves or others\, we can share pictures or videos on social media\, send texts or emails\, or even write books. In this tour\, we will look at some of the ways that people in the ancient Mediterranean communicated stories to one another. We will look at examples of media and messages that people shared (such as pictures)\, as well as informal and formal texts from the ancient Middle East\, Greece\, Egypt\, and Rome. \n\nThis event is free and open to all visitors. If you have any questions or concerns regarding accessing this event\, please visit our accessibility page at https://myumi.ch/zwPkd or contact the education office by calling (734) 647-4167. We ask for advance notice as some accommodations may require more time for the university to arrange.
