SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Advanced Research Computing on the Great Lakes Cluster
DESCRIPTION:This workshop will cover some more advanced topics in computing on the U-M Great Lakes Cluster. Topics to be covered include a brief review of common parallel programming models and basic use of Great Lakes\; dependent and array scheduling\; workflow scripting\; high-throughput computing using launcher\; parallel processing in one or more of Python\, R\, and MATLAB\; and profiling of parallel code.\n\nPrerequisites: This course assumes familiarity with the Linux command line as might be got from the ARC-TS workshop Introduction to the Linux Command Line. In particular\, participants should understand how files and folders work\, be able to create text files using the nano editor\, be able to create and remove files and folders\, and understand what input and output redirection are and how to use them.\n\nFor more information on instructors and course preparation materials\, please visit: https://ttc.iss.lsa.umich.edu/ttc/sessions/advanced-research-computing-on-the-great-lakes-cluster-38-2-3-2/

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:Workshop / Seminar:UC3M Group Advising Session
DESCRIPTION:This UC3M Group Advising session is for students applying to study abroad in Winter 2027. We recommend attending sessions earlier in the summer if possible.  If you are still comparing or exploring options\, you may benefit  from meeting with an IPE peer advisor or scheduling a1:1 advising appointment with the UC3M Advisor.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:From the Lab to the Public: Science Communication across Audiences
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a science communication panel\, co-organized by MiSciWriters. A panel that includes our visiting speaker Prof. Raychelle Burks (a renown and award winning forensic chemist as well as prominent science communicator to the public on tv\, podcasts\, and in print)\, Matthew Adams (the digital content manager in the Dean's Office at LSA)\, Prof. Kaitlin Raimi (a UM faculty in Public Policy who is an expert in how people think about STEM-based policies and technologies)\, and Dr. Sarah Derouin (a freelance science journalist) will lead a conversation that addresses a fundamental challenge of STEM workers: When someone asks “what do you do?” what do you tell them? How do you convey the impact of your research to different people? These four experts will share their perspectives on how science communication can be used as a tool to translate research from the lab into the public eye. From academia and higher education administration to journalism and public policy\, these panelists will discuss the tools and tactics they use in their daily work to convey information to specific audiences. Please join us for light snacks and an interactive and engaging session with these experts in science communication.
